Does anyone know what the status of transparent windows is in V11?

The document says they are to be removed, and the "replacements",
opaque windows without backgrounds, do not seem to be able to do
everything that transparent windows do, namely clipping.

I heard a rumor that they were to be left in V11 due to complaints
from the world.  Anybody have the scoop on this?
