Making changes to the reportserver database

Is it ok to make changes directly to the ReportServer database - adding
tables and stored procedures? Will admendments I make affect upgrades in the
future?My feeling is that you do this at your own risk. Going directly at the
reportserver database is not supported. You should use the web services. If
you want some of you own tables and stored procedures I would suggest
creating another database, even if you are going against reportserver
database.
I would guess that you could do it as long as your naming convention is such
that MS wouldn't be likely to name something similar. But if you put them in
your own database then your are guaranteed to be safe.
