Is Ropsten going to be deprecated (disappear) after TheMerge?

I was reading the recent announcement about the next exciting milestone of ETH2.0 and TheMerge: Ropsten Merge Announcement

Then I read this paragraph:

Given these circumstances, the Ropsten network, which is intended to be deprecated after The Merge, will run through the upgrade earlier in the development process than previous network upgrades. This will give the community more time to become familiar with the upgrade process.

I'm not sure how to take this sentence. Does this mean the Ropsten network will die soon after TheMerge (tomorrow) or later during the month/year?

I know a lot of Dapp developers (including myself) currently use Ropsten for mainnet-like testing and as soon as Ropsten is deprecated, a lot of systems and processes (QA) will stop working anymore.

What's the future of Ethereum testnets? Currently, we have Ropsten, Rinkeby, Kovan, Goerli (maybe more). Where are we supposed to migrate our smart-contracts in the short-term to prevent disruption? (Goerli?)

Thanks ????
