At least at present, there is no plan to include them, because the goal
is to not confuse the user by options that they shouldn't generally use.

If you are looking to do scripting, then the recommended method is to
use the bzrlib directly, rather than trying to go through the 'bzr'
front-end.

Is there a specific reason you want the functionality?

(baz2bzr is an example of a scripted front end which ties directly into
bzrlib in order to convert an Arch style branch into a bzr one, and it
does need these hooks, but it also uses bzrlib directly.)
