As a non-developer if I can chip in my .02 cents worth - I think
deprecating it might be a good thing. To me it was always a plugin that
received a lot of applause - but the one that would cause the most
questions ("why can't I use this imagery in map composer"). While I
liked having access to google/bing imagery - it always made me more
uncomfortable having it there because of the terms of service.
I didn't know that QuickMapServices was a plugin - and after looking at
it I think most people will have a problem because there is no
google/bing imagery in that one. In the US I have enough choices for
imagery - and that might not be the case everywhere else. I'm unsure how
up to date MapQuest Aerial is - but better than nothing.
Possibly add a pop-up/warning on the open layers plugin since it is
popular - "We are in the process of deprecating this plugin".
Other than that - +1 for retirement.

If the plugin is deprecated, what is replacing it? I find the plugin to be very

QuickMapServices. It's got numerous improvements over OpenLayers,
including reprojection support and not breaking the map composer.

Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] Future of OpenLayers plugin - time to deprecate?
I think deprecation and removal would be good, but for a tangential reason:
the name conflicts with OpenLayers the web mapping library. A trivial reason at
best, but probably irritating to many, and potentially confusing to users.
