This is REALLY bad news!! I asked this question a while back, I have a LOT of code using story 
runner, I have committed to do all my integration testing via stories, although the ruby style ones 
not the plain text ones.

To hear that they will be deprecated is not good news, and will cause me a lot of grief if I have to 
rewrite several thousand lines of code, or I simply won't be able to use the latest RSpec.

I suggest that cucumber stay separate, and RSpec keep the story runner, either as core or as an add on.

Deprecating something that is being used extensively will not make your users happy.
