How could we know? It might be removed in P3k, but does that
mean it is deprecated, as in "being disapproved", i.e. "being
passed unfavorable judgement on"?

In Python, I consider something deprecated when the documentation
says it is deprecated, or when using it raises a DeprecationWarning.
Neither is the case for filter.

That it is going to be removed in P3k does not bother me much:
I wouldn't be suprised if Python 3000 is released 995 years from
now :-)
