Return of the londesc conundrum

Hello fellow accessibility people,

I remember the age-long battle to keep longdesc into the spec, and then 
moving it to its own[1] as the main spec marked it as deprecated. It is 
now marked as **obsolete and non-conforming** in the HTML5.2 spec[2] so 
I'm at a loss as to whether one can implement it or not, considering one 
official recommendation versus the other.

Could anyone clear that up for me please?

Thanks for any input!
Stephane
