Will function based views ever be deprecated?

Hi,

I was wondering if function based views will ever be deprecated? I
absolutely hate class based views with a passion for various reasons
(too complex, trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist etc). With a
function based view I can write it in 2 minutes pretty much and handling
multiple forms on the same page is a piece of cake. The same is not true
of class based views. You need to look up which classes a certain class
based view inherits from to see what methods are available, handling
multiple forms on the same page is a pain in the arse if not impossible
and various other things that are just way more difficult than they
should be.

So yeah. Are function based views ever going to go away? I've already
noticed that in Django 1.11 the login() and logout() functions are going
away in favour of class based views which seems silly as I'll have to
rewrite my perfectly working user app to use class based views now.

Is that a sign of things to come? If that is what the developers are
planning can I please beg them to reconsider? Function based views are
just fine. You might prefer class based views but there are users out
there who much prefer function based views.

Please don't take this as an aggressive post. I love working with Django
and I'm just passioniate about it. This isn't a flame post.

Thank you for any help :).

Some Developer.
