The current documentation regarding `pyproject.toml` claims that support for using it to specify package metadata and build configuration options might be "completely removed" in a future release. However, nowadays it is clear (pypa#1688 (comment) and pypa#3214) that `pyproject.toml` is not going anywhere, is here to stay, and is in fact expected to be the preferred format in the future. This makes an incremental change toward that future by clarifying that `pyproject.toml` support will not be removed in a future release of setuptools.
