he didn't write that it certainly wasn't possible. he wrote that it should be clearly documented that it is, IF it is, and alternatively, if it is not, that should be clearly documented as well :)

The automatic tool may put some strain on the database, so it might be best to schedule it to run at a quiet time for the server. This could be done by creating an executable script and scheduling it with something like cron.

This sounds like it is expected to be run while Synapse is running, but it's never explicitly stated.
