Yes, however I wouldn't want to base a commercial product on the ideal
environment.  Companies love to produce marginal parts and software, and
consumers don't know the difference.  All they know is that my product
doesn't work right occasionally...

But for one offs (which, IIRC, this is) there should be no problem at
all unless there is a problem, in which case debugging is a nightmare.
