Alchemy - Rinkeby [Depecration notice]

[frederico-rocha]

Hello @PatrickAlphaC,

First of all thank you for the course, I'm loving every minute of it.
I'm on lesson 5 and I noticed that in Alchemy the Rinkeby network is with the status Depecration notice (Ropsten and Kaven are already Deprecated).
Do you have any idea why Alchemy seems to be deprecating all these networks?
Does it mean that when they change it to the status Deprecated it won't work anymore?

Thank you and warm regards,
Frederico

It is not Alchemy that is deprecating Rinkeby test net. Actually, Rinkeby testnet itself getting deprecated and that is what Alchemy is just notifying. Rinkeby test net is not getting updated along with the Mainnet.
