Are Bech32 addresses safe for mainnet usage?

Are Bech32 addresses safe for mainnet usage? According to github bitcoin/bips , BIP-173 is still a draft. And i saw today that Electrum wallet start using it. Is this means that the specs for BIP-173 won't change in the future ? or the final version won't introduce breaking changes to the draft version ? I just learned about Bech32 addresses this week and this gets me a little confused http://ift.tt/2zbcxcP
