Why not? The whole point of the changes is that all devices will now have the same charging rate, and all have USB-C ports, meaning that you'll only need ONE charger to charge ALL of your devices:

Although the EU has adopted USB-C as the de-factor standard for many pieces of IT equipment, the problem is that a USB-type A connector (with only 4 pins) may not be compatible with the USB-C device having 24 pins.
People will be plugging a USB-A connector into the power source and the other end of the cable being a USB-C connector (to the device), which won’t work because the USB-A power source is not power delivery aware (capable of delivering higher power levels).
So if using a USB-A connection to provide power to equipment that requires more than 5V to operate, you need to ensure it is capable of supplying the required higher output voltage.
Even when using USB-C to USB-C connectors, users could encounter the same issue because the power source is not power delivery aware (as per the USB standard) and is limited to 5V.
