I have no intention to remove it now. Stefan is concerned about the current design, and as I understand it would prefer a more-general approach that would render text-quoting-style unnecessary. If that happens, then of course text-quoting-style could be removed, as it's never appeared in a release. But I don't see us removing text-quoting-style without replacing it with something else.
