One thing to consider is that if your starter is full of lactobaccili or
acidophilus, or whatever the bugs in buttermilk are, it may not behave
properly in re the development of wild yeasts. Bacteria have been known
to defend their populations and territory against encroachers, like many
other life forms. Your bread _might_ not rise at all, depending on conditions.

But I bet it would be sour, all right!
