You will  not have to worry about it for a long time.


    Umm, wrong. Besides the fact that SS will gall  while being worked - a 
fatal problem - it's also not recommended by the  manufacturer.

Where would this make sense? Did the  manufacturer say to do that?!?

 
    Violation of the LXC Prime Directive to "DO what  the manufacturer 
says" will result in possibly fatal reduced reliability and  safety.
