Description

Following recent discussion, recorded on ~~LUDOC-146~~, we have added some vague language to hedge against the remote possibility that obdfilter_survey might destroy your file system.

It would be valuable to have conclusive evidence that obdfilter_survey is (or isn't safe) to use on a production file system.

And if the conclusion is that it is non-destructive and safe to run on a production file system, and we say as much in the manual, then even more important than all of that is to create/always-run a regression test that ensures that it remains safe, for every release!

Not that I have any recollection of that ever regressing, but we'd be in some very hot water if ever it did.
