If you're using any kind of 'add-on' package to add more information to the
default soups, then all kind of weird things can happen. It depends on the
kind of information you add. If you just add a couple of textfields, then I
would guess it's fine. But if you add some big things, (like pictures) that
are stored as large binary objects, then you're more prone to get errors.
I'm not saying it will happen, there are too many factors that come in, but
you're likely going to have some problems for some entries or others.
