Hi Jared,
The mailing list is not really much in use anymore. Most of the
discussions moved over to=C2=A0https://discourse.gstreamer.org

For your question, that's already the case since 1.24 at least.
There's not much work going into playbin2 / decodebin2 anymore for
years, and more often than not bugs reported in the old elements don't
affect the new elements and they stay unfixed in the old elements. It
makes no sense to distribute development efforts over both.
If you find regressions in the old elements they will likely still be
fixed, but apart from that development on them has stopped.
Check the git logs, there's basically nothing happening with the old
elements anymore for years :)
