Do Google Cloud SQL officially support mysqldump protocol?

Currently, I can run mysqldump from a client machine(not App engine) to connect to Google Cloud SQL instance by running this command:

mysqldump --host={GOOGLE_CLOUD_SQL_IP} --user={GOOGLE_CLOUD_SQL_USERNAME} --password={GOOGLE_CLOUD_SQL_PASSWORD} {DB_NAME} {TABLE_NAME} > /tmp/dump.sql

I can dump the content to my output file. However, my concern is this is not officially stated in Documentation. So not sure does Google not endorse this and will it be dropped in the future?

mysqldump uses the same protocol as any other mysql client. If they drop support for that, they will completely disable Google Cloud SQL.

No application or client would be able to connect.

On the brighter side, that would be very secure! :-)
