Ah, those who only see problems. You are interfering with nothing, and it is no hack, unsupported or otherwise: rooting simply adds 2 binaries to the system partition, su (/system/bin) and supersu.apk (/system/app) - there is no magic to it, that's all there is. And if you're so concerned about stuff not working when you root, so can always temporarily remove root with the free app "OTA Voodoo rootkeeper". It's an Android device, there is a way - a simple one at that.
