You say, "I believe". But as TrekKing already implied with his
question, this is important enough that it should be documented
somewhere without such a cautionary qualification -- if it is in fact
true. And if it turns out not to be true, then you should post a
follow up to your own comment explaining that you found out it is not
true.

Otherwise a lot of people are going to waste a lot of time trying to
figure out whether or not it is really true -- or trying to contain
the damage when their customers get a surprising version of the
software downloaded to the phone.
