Is it safe to use ROWID to locate a Row/Record in Oracle?

Question

I\'m looking at a client application which retrieves several columns including ROWID, and later uses ROWID to identify rows it needs to update:

Answer 1

"From Oracle 8 the ROWID format and size changed from 8 to 10 bytes. Note that ROWID's will change when you reorganize or export/import a table. In case of a partitioned table, it also changes if the row migrates from a partition to another one during an UPDATE."

I'd say no. This could be safe if for instance the application stores ROWID temporarily(say generating a list of select-able items, each identified with ROWID, but the list is routinely regenerated and not stored). But if ROWID is used in any persistent way it's not safe.
