Noone is going to remove support of any one syntax from the assembler.
This thread is only about removing the configuration option in gcc to
*generate* one or the other syntax. You will continue to be able to use
your handwritten assembler in the foreseeable future, using whatever mix
of MIT and Motorola syntax you can think of.
