System Events in 10.2 - what's the deal, Chris

After I observed in the 'Seybold Keynote' thread that System Events could
"manipulate files without scripting the Finder", it was pointed out to me
off-list that Mr Nebel had warned us off using it.

What Chris actually said (back in February) was "If you address System
Events directly, you're putting yourself at risk of breaking in the future,
should we decide to move/rearrange/destroy System Events. Not that we have
any immediate plans to do so, but you never know."

Is that still emphatically the case, Chris? The release notes for AS 1.9
seem guardedly optimistic about SE's future, even going so far as to promote
it's use for setting system preferences (when available), and as an
alternative to the Finder when scripting restarts and shut downs.

What's the purpose behind offering a 'Disk-Folder-File Suite' for
'controlling Disks, Folders, and Files' if it's not to be used?

Insatiably curious, as ever.
