Apple's opened no door. You found the key hidden in the hollow rock
next to the mat. Apple has not been especially shy about changing the
lock in the past.
And I consider that a generally bad thing.
Bluntly, tough. If it's not documented, it takes more than the standard
allotment of chutzpah to say they're wrong if (stress if, because I
don't think it will apply in this case) they decide to take it back.
They put the key there to be found.
They put the key there for their own use. You found it. You are under
absolutely no obligation to use it. You choose to do so, and I will not
tell you or anyone that you "must not." I just didn't want to let stand
unchallenged a recommendation to do something that is, for now,
unsupported. It _may_ turn out fine. It may equally turn out to be
detrimental to the user base and/or the platform.
