Hi @naiad ,
I know that the Particle System is ‘end of life’, because I watch Blender Today. Keeps me updated.
They say the new Hair Type is meant to replace the old system, but I am not sure if they will completely remove it.
There is still a lot missing in the new system (doesn’t even have Children…) at the moment, so at least for now and the near future both systems will be available.
