Besides the fact that your modules are stale (make.conf change required to 
avoid that) or that you are on your own when doing "unsupported" 
procedures.  The biggest problem is passing on such things to those that 
don't know better, which is a disadvantage to those that later point out 
the problem with deviating from accepted procedures.
