Ah, now that's an interesting question.  I do think that the phenomenon of
people photographing QR codes in order to avoid typing in URLs has peaked,
although I say that on the basis of industry gestalt rather than Google
logs. But hey, it's a barcode. They don't die. We'll continue to see them
around, even if it's just in situations where other barcodes would do just
as well, like on boarding passes.

My original response was ill-phrased, since it implied that Google might
decide to remove QR code generation from within Google Image Charts. That
will not happen. What might happen is that Google could turn off *all* of
Google Image Charts.

If that happens, I think you won't have too much trouble finding an
alternative solution. Chart generation can be difficult to do well, but QR
code generation is dead simple.
