Per the maintainer:

a 2.x release will then remove it, but I have no plans to create that any time soon and I won't do it only for that. ctools is still actively maintained and has a D11 compatible stable release already, so it doesn't block D11 adoption either. If that ever changes then I might push for the removal to happen but until then, this likely won't happen.
