That's about the size of it. If you go directly to the hardware, or to the
ROMs, or in any other way, bypass the system supported methods of doing things,
you will have only yourself to blame

It will still be an Amiga as long as Amiga programs run on it. The designers of
the hardware and OS do not consider ill-conceived hacks and kludges to be Amiga
programs. CBM has laid down the rules you need to follow to remain compatible,
and if you decide to ignore them, your program will break. SImple.
