I want to integrate Google Cloud Messaging for a push notifications, and found that it deprecated:
Did you know that? Do you have plans to replace GCM with FCM, soon?
(I ask, because I need to understand my next steps with this feature.)

As you say, the idea is to migrate to Firebase. As for an actual date when we plan to deliver this, we’re not quite sure yet. But “soon” at least!

Yes, we’re aware. I made a mention of it here in a comment but we haven’t made an announcement post.
The idea is that you shouldn’t have to do anything at all with your code. The push.* namespace will exist and most likely work exactly the same. You may need to enter a new Firebase id somewhere in game.project, but that should be it. We will take care of the rest behind the scenes.
Work with the migration from GCM to Firebase will happen this year, well in advance of the deadline in April 2019.
