Let me preface my note with an "ugh!" No, there has been no deprecation, this is an example of a bug that I'm extremely thankful was caught.
For the record, the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL_GUID in the spec is correct, and remains active and used. There was a copy-paste bug in the EFI_HII_IMAGE_DECODER_PROTOCOL_GUID that despite the layers of checks and double-checks had somehow gotten past us all in the development of the spec. Let's just say that the EFI_HII_IMAGE_DECODER_PROTOCOL_GUID will be fixed (changed) and the change reflected in a UEFI spec errata. I don't yet have a date for when that errata will come out, but I'll push for sooner vs later.

As former was added only recently, I went to check the UEFI 2.6 specification and discovered that even there the GUIDs match. Now, please excuse my ignorance, but was the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol deprecated and the Image Decoder was assigned its GUID, or might this be a copy+paste error? Also, in the specification, the Image Decore GUID has the second opening curly brace one byte too late, I suppose.
