It does allow you to change the sizes of partitions which are not in use, as long as they don't overlap in use partitions. It even lets you grow in use partitions.

The heuristic of the vfstab being 'in use' could be improved upon however, which I believe is Daniel's main concern. The idea is that entries in /etc/vfstab are possibly in use, and designed to help users not step on filesystems that may not be mounted at that time, but could potentially be something they want to keep.

In this special case it wasn't even a filesystem, but the swap device. You won't loose any vital data from an inactive swap device (ok, in theory you could loose a crash dump if you shrink swap).
