Why is the blob tracking code 'legacy'? What's replaced it?

I was struggling to find where in the OpenCV API the blob tracking code that EmguCV uses is. I think I have found it religated to legacy code: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/master/modules/legacy/src/blobtrackingauto.cpp

Why is it legacy code and where is any blob tracking code APIs that have replaced it?

As far as I know if any code become legacy it is neither maintained nor developed further any more.

But you may take a look at SimpleBlobDetector at features2d module, this might be what you are looking for.

Thanks; detection's half the job, CvBlobTrackerAuto tracked them too. Is this now spread across classes?
