[GRASS-dev] r.statistics being deprecated?

r.statistics no longer appears in the menu for GRASS 7.8.6 (and earlier?).

Is it being deprecated and replaced by r.stats.zonal?

I am not aware of that but indeed I don't see it in the menu under

Raster > Reports and statistics

Was it ever therein?

Regarding replacement:
https://grass.osgeo.org/grass79/manuals/r.stats.zonal.html#notes
"r.stats.zonal is intended to be a partial replacement for
r.statistics, with support for floating-point cover maps at the
expense of not supporting quantiles."

I think it was in the raster overlay section (because it makes maps) back when I last taught my spatial tech class here (2015).

I believe r.statistics could be removed (perhaps moved to addons). It is replaced by r.stats.zonal for the most part, and also r.stats.quantile and r.mode.
