No, he can't. It won't work. The sooner he will know it the better.

Why? No, it won't. We don't have cases where we need to modify it by hands
and see what happens, because we already have strict list of OSes we
support. And if someone of our clients or deployment engineers does that -
it will be better for him to know this won't work from the beginning, isn't
it?
