I don't believe so - as long as there is a version change and it's documented in the change log, which I aim to do with optimisations I write.
If you're using undocumented apparent behaviour, please check the change log when upgrading, or ask us to document the behaviour. But as already described, we may not be able to guarantee what you want while keeping other things you depend on like performance!
