Custom Feature, depend on linked component?

Hi,

The "Custom Feature" functionality looks really interesting. However, I have a question regarding the following paragraph:

This re-compute functionality is currently limited to one specific case. This custom compute functionality should not be used for any other cases and will likely fail. The case where it is supported is where the custom feature consists of only base features, sketches, and combine features. Typically, a custom feature that supports custom compute will have a base feature with one or more B-Rep bodies and a combine feature that uses a Boolean operation to combine the base feature bodies into the parametric model.

Does this mean that custom features cannot depend on e.g. linked components? Or does it mean that it will not automatically update when those dependencies change, but an update can be triggered manually?

Finally, is there any timeplan for when the APIs will stabilize?
