compactions & flushing

The description for "hbase.hstore.compactionThreshold" in hbase-default.xml says: <<< During a compaction, updates cannot be flushed to disk. >>> .

What's the reason for this restriction?  I couldn't spot where this is getting enforced in the code.  So wondering if the restriction is still true.
