All the dismissal of an icon from the home screen requires is a single SQL update to change the value of a column for a given row in the Activity table from false to true. This is done either manually by the user in the plugin, or automatically via a standard SQL Trigger on any and all updates to that table.
This is a standard SQL database using the SQLite engine which is designed to be cross platform.
Other functions of this plugin also use the database for different purposes; some of which are read only, others read/write. However, to call any of these DANGEROUS is a massive EXAGGERATION.

Its quite simple here. Its not supported by Kobo its not designed by kobo and it is not recommended by Kobo. The author of the utility even states a warning toward this effect. Any thing that messes around with the Data base you run the risk of screwing up your Kobo Quite Spectacular. That said USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK stands. IF you need to use it then go for it. But fair warning.
