This conversation is taking place on a darktable forum ... I am not sure why options for corrupting a RAW file with other pieces of software is really relevant.

Darktable is a non-destructive image
editor and the user is totally unable to
write or change the RAW file in any way.
that's right.
But: Nikon software (ViewNX) writes into the
RAW file instead of creating a xmp file.
And that crap from Adobe does this also in
case of a DNG file.
Darktable does not forbid the user to deploy
exif-tool or exiv2; it just doesn't recommend
it. Anyway, darktable would be the wrong tool
for doing so.

Would ViewNX also modify a raw from, say,
Canon? The problem is the potentially unknown
manufacturer entries in Exif, which may yield
a broken raw file. But of course, Nikon is able
to change their own files without risks (unless
you use an old version of ViewNX on a new file).
