Bad idea to deprecate stuff like this.  Firstly it sends a loud signal to devs that they are building on quicksand.  Second, centralized politics or flexes makes nostr more proprietary.  Thirdly, it could be used, and probably is, a centralized committee cant know, google pulls this stuff all the time.  Fourthly, there's absolutely nothing on the radar that is significantly better.  And there wont be for 1-2 years.    Nostr NIPs were designed to let people try stuff and experiment, it's quite often that things get rebooted in new ways like with ngit.  Delegation is actually a pretty decent spec, and useful as hell in the right environment.  If the politics is just to kill somoene esle's work to rail road them onto something else, it's bad politics.
