Yes, there's no proposal to change that.

I typically use Electric Quote mode, and type ` and ' which is pretty easy.  You 
can also type "C-x 8 [" and "C-x 8 ]".  If your Alt key works you can also type 
"A-[" and "A-]".   On my keyboard right now (Ubuntu 15.04) I can also type 
"Compose < '" and "Compose > '"; that's a Gnomeism, though, I believe.
