Did you mean discouraged? Or it's really slated for deprecation?
Deprecated basically means "the use of this is discouraged",
though because it is often followed by a comment like
"and it will be removed in a future release", people
sometimes are misled into thinking "deprecate" refers
to the pending act of removal rather than the discouragement
itself.
So, yes, its use is deprecated (though I'm not sure if that's
by any official statement, or simply by widespread convention),
but no, that doesn't mean it is going to go away any time soon.
