[Interest] Qt containers deprecated with 5.0?

This is probably common knowledge, but I came across the following paragraph
sited in a stackoverflow answer[1] from a page regarding Qt algorithms[2]:
"Historically, Qt used to provide functions which were direct equivalents of
many STL algorithmic functions. Starting with Qt 5.0, you are instead
encouraged to use directly the implementations available in the STL; most of
the Qt ones have been deprecated (although they are still available to keep
the old code compiling)."
The responder then summarizes:
"So using STL when programming with Qt 5 is officially encouraged, should it
become a necessity."
The original poster was asking about tuples, but the responder sites Qt
algorithms. My question is: Were Qt containers also deprecated along with Qt
algorithms starting with Qt 5.0? Or put another way, should new code based on
the Qt5 series avoid using Qt-specific containers now?
