Intel documents say otherwise:

"Intel® Media SDK API is nearing its final update. Implementation updates,
such as security patches and critical bug fixes, will continue as needed."

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/upgrading-from-msdk-to-onevpl/top/faq/how-long-will-intel-media-sdk-be-available.html

"For currently available hardware, Intel® Media SDK and oneVPL provide the
same access. Existing applications may continue to use Intel® Media SDK."
