Nothing has broken so far!

I've done this on around half a dozen installations, and I think it's by
far the best way to go. The most common cause of cistern-bowl leaks is
having a fixed cistern and a toilet bowl which moves too much. Silicone
allows for enough movement while eliminating wobble.

Yup. Along with CAR BODY FILLER, silicone and expanding foam are three
of DIYs great inventions.

And gaffer tape.
