I doubt anyone is planning to remove it.  If anything it'll get better
supported.  Notice that 7.1 now allows update/delete over inheritance
hierarchies, which never worked before --- that doesn't look like a
dying feature to me.

I would not really recommend using multiple inheritance, but single
inheritance seems like a safe-enough bet.
