It's not rhetorical - it might not break it, it might break it... The point is: it's not tested by RH, it's not tested by CentOS, it probably (okay 99.99% here) works in a vanilla kernel - but does it work after all of RH's patches have been applied? It probably does, _BUT_ do we guarantee it? NO. It just might break, and if it does _YOU_ get to keep the pieces and don't say we didn't warn you (and the breakage may very well be silent and result in a corrupted disk (etc.) three months from now). Sure, ext2 seems like something that shouldn't break, but one would think the same of many other options - some of which DO break, and perhaps even silently at that (or at least silently until your system crashes and you lose your data).
