That may be aimed at its use with raw files. In general, writing to raw files 
is "at your own risk".

There's no official description (from the most popular camera makers) of the 
format of such files. That means that if there is a small error in the 
interpretation of the raw file, writing to it could make it unreadable (either 
for the writing library, or only for others).

There are documented cases of such corruption (by a program from the camera 
brand concerned at that)...

Backups help, of course.
