Is it?

There is no replacement for completion.el in vanilla GNU Emacs.  Stefan
does know that.

The questions is whether to deprecate a package that is neither
maintained not exactly used any more and that breaks Elisp coding
conventions big time.

Considering that auto-complete-mode is GPLv3'ed and the de-facto
standard package for text-agnostic auto-completion within Emacs, I think
deprecating is worth a try.
