Not any time soon.  The deprecation mostly just means that new Nmap
features usually aren't added to grepable output (which was a quick
hack that isn't very extensible).  For example, the new scripting
engine probably won't have a way to use this output format.  Instead
it will output results in interactive, normal, and XML formats.  Oh,
and sCr1pT |<idDi3 format.

Thanks, I'm glad you find Nmap useful!
