More simply it's "do not consider this link" with no real definition as to "why" you don't want it followed attached.

As I have said, for my own reasons, I've chosen not to use it for internal links at this point. But I don't believe that anyone who does choose to use it for their own reasons, is somehow attaching a "negative" stigma to the target page.
