FFF 298 - Will be loader prototype removed in future?

Hi all!
I read in FFF 298 the loader will be considered not suitable for Factorio gameplay. But does this implies that in future the loader prototype will be removed?

Actually there's many mod that use that prototype for make many loader variants, and removal of it will have a strong impact on them. I'm a little worried about... I don't want to argue Factorio evolution, but I think that how long Factorio and his mods are two separate thing, many players/modders like much moddable aspect of Factorio, and the removal of this will remove a feature in Factorio's modding compartment, that at the moment has no effect on vanilla gameplay.

It won't be removed. It just won't be used in vanilla campaign and freeplay.
