yes, I'd confirm that this works.

if you *don't* keep events separate you probably will not run into  
problems. however, if you keep events separate and try to load an  
archive of your events category it will give you a 404 not found

hmmm, i expect that the wp guys made a lot of stuff (not everything)  
backwards compatible, so some of the old wp functions might still  
linger around. the problems only start when you begin to access the  
database (i.e. you're placing or worse: modifying sql statements)
