There is this discussion: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19153> which concludes that it shouldn't be deprecated because some versions of nginx (<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19153#comment:5> don't work with Etags and GZip as expected otherwise). If that's because nginx doesn't behave properly, and the only reason for not deprecating it, then perhaps it should be renamed "GZipForMisbehavingBrowsersMiddleware".
