We never discussed the stability of that output format and you will
notice that the wifi helpers define extra events and information than
what raj defined. So, since we never even formally defined that format
anywhere (beyond as an artefact of the code), I have a hard time feeling
committed to any kind of stability of that format.

i.e., if someone really cared about some sort of stable ascii output
format for ns-3, he should start by defining what that output format
should look like. A defining characteristic is that we should be able to
extend it as time goes. So far, no one has done that but patches are
welcome, as usual :)
