they start with a AV_ prefix and are in a public header, so the
statement that they ARE "internal values, and may change" is
certainly not correct.
Also there are several public fields that use them as timebase

that explains the addition of a function returning the timebase,
i agree that this part (or something equivalent) is needed

I dont understand why the defines are deprecated though, can you
elaborate on why you change that ?

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
