Here's what I read at the above link

/We recommend you do not use these/ --- they are intended for testing
and may disappear in future versions. You get the best security that Tor
can provide when you leave the route selection to Tor; overriding the
entry / exit nodes can mess up your anonymity in ways we don't understand.



What don't they recommend?  Is it the "ExcludeExitNodes" they're talking
about that they don't recommend you use or does it apply to Entry and
Exit also?
