Does 2010's SQL Reporting Services still use the 2005 Service for Report Service Execution?

In 2005, SQL Reporting Services had two separate services: 

 http://[server]/reportserver/reportexecution2005.asmx

and

 http://[server[/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx

In 2010, the reportservice2005.asmx has been replaces with reportservice2010.asmx. There are some differences between the two, but so far I've been able to navigate them ok.

But what I am not finding is any new service for reportexecution2005.asmx. And it does not appear that the functionality in this service has been rolled into reportservice2010.asmx.

So, for actually rendering reports, should I still just use reportservice2005.asmx?

From Report Server Web Service Endpoints and more specific the Execution Endpoints section I would say that ReportExecution2005 Namespace is still the way to go.

The ReportExecution2005 endpoint makes it easy for developers to customize report processing and rendering from a report server in both native and SharePoint integrated modes. The endpoint includes classes and methods that existed in earlier versions of the Report Server Web service. In addition, many new classes and methods have been added to the Report Server Web service that are exposed through the execution endpoint.
