Here is the branch which removes use of the deprecated code:

    https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/3325

It is simply removed.

Note that since fd39db11a2d4b818ad40a8b709ec58532cabf3a1 (Apr 2012,
included in 6.0.0.rc1), it has defaulted to being off and therefore will
return NULL for *all* classes without a setting when building VTK. No
one has reported this being a problem, so I don't forsee any issue in
the future either.
