Term and comint share a lot of functionnalities. Comint lacks a few
features, for instance char/line-mode for direct input.
From what I understand, a good solution would be to make sure that no
functionality is missing from term.el that's in comint, and deprecate
comint.

Term and comint have different purposes. Term is a full-blown terminal
emulator, which has the advantages of supporting curses applications;
comint is intended to be a dumb terminal, which has its own advantages
like not worrying so much about window sizes. There is no way term will
deprecate comint.
