I don't know what you mean by this.  I just performed the following
experiment on my stretch workstation (wooledg), in communications with
a stretch server (arc3) elsewhere on our network.

1) Already logged into wooledg, I opened a new urxvt window.

2) In this window, I typed: ssh -Y arc3

3) After authenticating to arc3 with a password, at the shell prompt, I
   typed: xterm

4) After a moment, a new xterm window appeared on my display.

5) Inside this xterm, to confirm that the xterm was running on arc3,
   I typed: uname -a

Terminal sessions shown without modification:

wooledg:~$ ssh -Y arc3
wooledg@arc3's password: 
Linux arc3 4.9.0-8-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.110-3+deb9u5 (2018-09-30) i686

So, I don't know why you believe that ssh's -Y option has been "killed".
If you are having trouble with it, start a new thread and we can try to
help you figure out what's wrong.
