I know it is not recommended, but there is nothing wrong with it. I 
used it over a couple of years without any problem. If your 
network/server is reliable you will not loose any data. besides of 
that, a backup on the server will let you loose only one day work (and 
backing up a single server is easier than backing up several clients).

I only switched to a local copy because my server was to slow (an old 
P-III with 400 MHz on a 100MBit network). Now I sync the photo folder 
from server to local HD on login and backwards on logout.

There is an option to reread metadata from pictures (but only for 
selected photos or one album).
