When I say "supported", I am strictly speaking in the corporate sense.
If I do anything that voids the service agreement, that is unsupported.
It matters not a bit that I will never use the service agreement, ever.
"Supported" also means that there is someone to sue if something goes
wrong. A corporate palace like my workplace would never use a product
that is made by a non-corporate entity because there is no one to sue if
the product does not work. This litigational chain provides a sense of
security for those of a coprorate mindset. The finger must always have
somewhewre to point. Tux is too cuddly; he makes a poor scapegoat.
