https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.2 already has

"Feature removal / deprecation
General
The KDE4 VCL backend is deprecated and will be removed in the next
version.

The GTK+2 VCL backend is deprecated and will be removed in a future
version."

OK, there's the difference "next" vs. "in a future", but...

Rene
