Qt containers are not deprecated. But we don't know if they are going to 
be deprecated in a future new major version of Qt (like 6.0).

Using standard containers means you don't have to care whether Qt 
containers are going to be phased out at some point or not. Also, 
standard containers play well with the rest of the standard library and 
will continue to do so with upcoming standard features (like ranges and 
concepts.)

The advise to use standard containers sounds pretty solid to me, even if 
Qt containers are not deprecated.
