Hi Jan,

AFAIK, what you've described is supposed to work just fine.
However, this and similar scenarios don't get a lot of testing.
A few weeks back, I uncovered some bugs in a beta version of RHEL5
doing just that, which we consequently fixed.  So I'd say:  Go ahead
and do it, and if you run into problems, open up a bugzilla.
