Cisco couldn't give the tiniest amount of a care about whether anything works. Once they have your money, they don't give a damn. They'll pretend to care, though - they'll tell you that if you buy support they'll help you, but then the paid support will then tell you in greater detail that what you're trying to do is not supported.
If you come up with a workaround, do post it.
