The release notes for Samba 4.16:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_4.16_Features_added/changed

Under the heading:

SMB1 protocol has been deprecated, particularly older dialects

There is this line:

Eventually SMB1 as a whole will be removed, but no broader change is
announced for 4.16. 

There have been other earlier deprecations.
