Myth: 2: converting text to outlines changes the appearance of the text due to loss of kerning, hinting

Really, a myth? What has changed that lets fonts keep hinting when outlined? Does that apply only to new fonts (such as open type) or is it a function of the type engine in CS4 or what? Sometimes it would be great to outline text but I'm concerned that the quality of small type not change.
