Re: Safe to use %% lines?

As it says in Changes 2.14:

** Incompatible changes
  - Deprecate %%-lines, <%args> section and <%shared> section, which IMO add
    unnecessary TMTOWTDI. Standardize on the <%class> section and Moose 'has'
    declarations. These alternate syntaxes may make it into a plugin.

So %% is deprecated and will probably disappear at some point, though it could easily be put into a plugin.

They whack the rest of the line into the class header (_add_to_class_block) as opposed to the current method. Is it “safe” to use these lines, for a definition of safe that roughly means ‘this functionality is unlikely to go away in the future’ or should I just code my components properly and stop hacking around?

For that it is convenient to have everything in one section and not having to paste some into class and other into the main component sections.
