I'm just quoting the rpm info. The README and the web page both say this
as well. It's unfortunate that the documentation isn't more extensive,
and that the docs and the software seem to say different things. In that
situation I'd personally be more conservative, but that's just me.

The fact that it worked in this case doesn't mean it's supported in all
cases, especially given that it didn't work in the case you're asking
about.
