Over the past few years, Google has repeatedly threatened to deprecate Manifest V2 but then either temporarily suspended or extended the deadline every single time. But they will do it eventually...

If we want to keep the extension on the Chrome web store (and likely other Chromium-like stores) then we will need to move to Manifest V3. This issue is for discussing and tracking what is required for the upgrade.
