Are .RSJ files replacements for .RST files, or am I not understanding the point or .RSJ files?

Since we don't generate .rst files anymore, .rsj files are (codepage-safe) a replacement.

I believe .RSJ files appeared in FPC 2.6.4.

3.0

Is the FPC team going to deprecate .RST files at some point?

See above.

While I was not the one who removed support for generating them, I didn't know rst files were a supported public interface. I thought they only existed as a communication means with the rstconv utility (which still supports them, along with .rsj files).

MSEgui has code for parsing *.rsj files. Please see lib/common/designutils/mseresourcetools.pas.
