There is very little new development for graphics view. Essentially, we focus 
on stability, and only serious bugs are fixed. I will be very surprised if 
anyone would think it is a good idea to do a large change to remove features 
at this point, even if they are deprecated.

However, there is a theoretical possibility that changes in other parts of Qt 
could break this feature, and in that case we might not prioritize fixing those 
bugs.

TL;DR: No plans to remove it, but no guarantees that it will always continue 
working.
