mimeopen is a perl thing (perl-File-MimeInfo).

These generic fallbacks are just that, last-resort things to try, when the
native desktop doesn't provide facilities to do it already (like gnome and kde
do).

deprecated?  no, I hope not!

Though, not having a recent release is certainly not good (certainly counter to
... releaes early, release often).  I've personally pushed for that, but I'm
also not the one doing the work there (I could do more to help in that regard
too... put up or shut up... kind of thing). :)
