I am not aware of any news on this. Authors should definitely use whatever tool works best for them -- last I checked, editors tend to need to use contenteditable for at least some things if they want the editing area to integrate nicely and behave as all users expect, but you need a lot of JavaScript to get it working acceptably. Browser implementers still need to care about contenteditable, because many websites still use it, so they can't just forget about it.
