mdb backup via slapcat

Dear all,

I am used to run slapcat to create backups of the backend database
_while_ slapd is running. Recently I migrated from bdb to mdb. Now I
read that using slapcat on a running slapd is only safe for bdb and hdb
backends [1].

Question:
  - Is that still true?
  - In which situation could data corruption occur?
  - Is that supposed to change in the future?


Many thanks,
