There is no guarantee that they will stay the same or that they even will be available at all. To my knowledge until now they still remain untouched but I wouldn't rely on that in the future. As an example, the new Chart will not support them as the old Chart did. The same could happen if other components or parts of it will be exchanged or for whatever reason we redesign our dispatching code to support new features.
