That risk is fairly low.  I think the risk is higher that that the GPIO 
pin assignments might change, but even that risk is reasonably low now 
that the board design is starting to "freeze".

The battery LED can be handled with a similar trick, as it it driven in 
a similar fashion, by two other GPIO pins, one for green and one for red.

The wireless LEDs are driven directly from the wireless module.  I 
recall seeing some commands for controlling them in the wireless 
firmware API, but don't know the details.
