Hey Tim, "Deferred" does not mean "Deprecated", it simply means that an active/draft XEP has not been updated for a long time (more than 6 months I believe). By the way, I think the best thing to do is definitely not deprecating it, but rather switching it to "Obsolete".
We really have an opportunity to leverage the adoption of this XEP and broaden this. A good starting point would be to have a production-stable mod_vcard4 for Prosody and its forks (if not already done), and then moving fast on client implementations.
