Not at all. We still use it in a variety of places & products.
It was actually related to the fact that we weren't willing to force
a complete SVG implementation on other vendors that wanted to support
PDF in a fully open context. We had incorporated it into PDF when we
wanted to push SVG - not so much that we felt it was "appropriate"
for inclusion in PDF. Now we (and everyone) needs to look at PDF in
a wider context...
