You can upgrade all the way to Angular 17 without having to adopt the new MDC components. Only this May with Angular 18 support for the legacy components will be dropped completely.

That’s the reason we’re currently migrating all our remaining usages of Material components to ng-zorro.

They previously announced [1] these would be removed in v17, did that change?

No but Angular 17 is backwards compatible with @angular/material@16 so you can upgrade Angular without having to upgrade Material [1]. We currently run @angular/core@17.0.8 and @angular/material@16.2.12 in production without problems.

In the end this only buys you another 6 months but helped us get ready for Angular 18 in May.

The announcement post for Angular 17 included a few sentences about this [1]

We deprecated legacy components in v15 to be removed in v17. Even though they’ll not be part of the Angular Material v17 package, you can still update your apps to Angular v17 and use the v16 Angular Material package. This will be an option until v18, after which Angular Material v16 will no longer be compatible with newer versions of Angular.
