I have heard it is common practice, but in my view if your toilet is maintained so it works as designed and the user is paying attention and you are using the right toilet paper, you should be able to flush the paper with no problems. I have never had a paper jam but I am meticulous on maintenance.
On the other hand, if you have a bunch of people using a half-roll of paper every time, it will jam frequently. I would rather educate the user than carry around that kind of souvenir. As to the opening ports, I think it's a great idea. I just don't think that row of little ports does anything for the looks of the boat. Larger opening ports would have made the boat a lot better looking. Those little plastic ones just look cheap. One man's opinion.
