Sure, but users who poke into internal structures (which are not in the list
of deprecation candidates in the documented support policy) don't get as much
support and warning as do users who stick to documented APIs (listed in the
support policy).
I think it's only Lua, Partcl, Rakudo, and Kea-CL which may have a problem
here, and they hew closely enough to Parrot trunk that they should be able to
handle it.

FWIW, Kea-CL never did poke into Parrot internals, as it had a
vanishingly small amount of C code. (Though this is academic at this
point, as Kea-CL hasn't been able to run since December; see Trac #39.)
