As they still are, but the rule book (except possibly in the "formation example" diagram) has never referred to the position by that name -- except in Canadian rules where it was first "centre scrimmager" (or maybe just "one of [whom]", referring to the players of the "scrimmage"), then "snap", then "centre". And with unbalanced lines possible there's all the reason for coaches to abandon that term. And it does seem there's a trend in coaching lately for the term "snapper" to be used more than it used to be.
