Family base 5th preference now 4th preference?

I petitioned and got approval for my brother and my sister on June 13, 1991 as 5th preference (brother and sister of US citizens).
I notice that there are no more 5th preference family based category anymore. Brother and sister of US citizens are now 4th preference. The June Visa Bulletin says that they are processing 4th preference visas for those who were approved April 15, 1990.
Are the 5th preference category in 1991 the same as the 4th preference category in 2002? I am concerned as it soon will be my brother and sister\'s turn to get the visa.

Thank you for any information.
Sincerely,
Joan
