Static Scoping versus Dynamic Scoping

I read somewhere that in the future dynamic scoping of variables
in
Emacs Lisp will be replaced with static
scoping.

I don't want this to happen because I often need to make use of
the
following
idiom:

(let ((case-fold-search
t))
 
(foo))

Inside the foo function case-fold-search's value is set to t,
whatever
the global value for case-fold-
search.

Could someone please reassure me that this precious feature will
not
be removed?
