In theory it's good, but in practice there's also HEAD and OPTIONS which are both safe. Plus there's also the possibility that future HTTP extensions might try to improve upon GET by building a more generic version such as M-GET from RFC 2774, or even optimizations such as URIQA's MGET (which I don't think is a worthwhile optimization, but perhaps something else in the future might be).
