    epa-pinentry-mode is a variable defined in `epg-config.el'.
    Its value is nil

      This variable is an alias for `epg-pinentry-mode'.
      This variable is obsolete since 27.1;
      use `epg-pinentry-mode' instead.

That means you should be good for at least another two emacs releases
or so (5 years, 8? who knows).
