This is a good point, to not deprecate CQL. 
A short reflection:
Searching in similar experiences (Lisp vs Common Lisp; C vs C++, ...), as 
user, I would like to use a richer language to express what I want. On the 
other hand, if you has got a limitation (maybe functional requirement) you can 
use the canonical syntax (but not validate). Backing to catalog,  I have two 
possibility to express a query, cql and ecql , as user why I should use the 
poorer (cql). ?
Is the ogc-cql a better language to consult metadata?

I think that parsing is the only process to validate the syntax language
