There is an announcement today that the deprecation date for Site/User Streams API are being delayed

Twitter Dev (TwitterDev)

Last year we announced our plan to retire Site Streams & User Streams, and replace them with the Account Activity API (currently in beta). We are delaying the scheduled June 19th deprecation date.

12:56 PM - 6 Apr 2018

Does the delay includes the retiring of the Direct Message end points?

Since the new DM end points has a more strict rate limit (750/app), it would require developers to move to Account Activities API, which has long approval process. It would make sense to delay includes DM migration as well.
