Sigh.
It won't be removed, so you'll still be able to use it (as Peter pointed out) . I had exactly the same initial reaction as you (mine was a sort of "nooooo, they can't do that") so I know where you're coming from. But having read through the discussion on the dev list and thought about it, the rspec mocking framework is pretty stable and complete so I don't think depreciating it is going to be too big a problem for those (like me!) that have a bundle of specs that use the rspec mocking framework - I'm going to keep using it for now, but have a look at the alternatives as a background task with the intent to use one of them on a new project as some point in the future.
