well it is unless your wheel wasn't in the dropouts to begin with. The tire will hit the stay before that happens and even if it didn't you can't pull the non-driveside out so the wheel won't go anywhere. If you were a bit stronger and actually had to worry about this problem that would be obvious after the first or second time it happened with trackends.
