it is possible to make it work for a given device running a given revision of the software. It is not currently possible to make it work in a way that behaves predictably on different devices or different revisions of the software (including, importantly, devices or software revisions that haven't been released yet).
That's why it's "not supported": if you make it work on your device right now and it doesn't work in another environment, you shouldn't expect to receive any help or to see any effort spent at the framework level to try to make your application work in the future. The same is true of undocumented classes, functions, or parameter values.
