Vorbis - Aug 2003 - is ogg flac ready to be used by the average user?

Sorry for the somewhat off-topic post, but while we are on the subject of flac,
here's my question:

Is the current version of ogg flac (encoded with flac.exe from the official flac
website) some kind of beta implementation or is it a fully compatible release
that will continue to be supported by future applications?

The reason I'm asking is because I get the following error message when
encoding:

WARNING, cannot write back seekpoints when encoding to Ogg yet

What 'flac --ogg' writes now is a subset of what it will write
in the next release.

Currently there is no support in libFLAC for seeking in Ogg FLAC
files but once that is there, the seekpoints will be written as
they are with native FLAC.

You can always add seekpoints later with metaflac (using the next
release).

The FLAC-into-Ogg mapping is stable though.
