Yes.  I have no plans to eliminate the support, despite what newbie
docs may eventually say :-)

I have not yet committed to porting the Pmw code to Python 3k.  Unless
that happens the Tk option will be increasingly unimportant as more
and more people convert to Python 3k (as they should, imo.)

Something is very wrong with Leo's aspell code at present.  As an
emergency measure I removed spellpyx.txt.  I'll fix this for 4.8.

This is a FAQ: http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/FAQ.html#trouble-shooting

Look for: My old .leo files won’t load using Leo 4.5 or later. What should I do?

I don't plan any changes that would inconvenience present users.  In
fact, there is nothing on the to-do list that should cause
compatibility problems in the future. There are a few bugs that should
have been fixed a month ago, but I'm having too much fun with rST,
sphinx, Screenbooks, etc.  It's beginning to look like 4.8 will
contain no other major features except for installer-related and
doc-related items.
