Quoting the changelog for 3.44.0-2:

"most likely nobody will notice this feature going away."

https://sources.debian.org/src/zenity/4.1.90-1/debian/changelog/#L91-L101

A client of mine uses Zenity to deliver bulletins/motds to Debian
desktop users. These are edited as markdown, rendered as HTML and
displayed using Zenity's --html feature.

Zenity is now broken for that use case because this feature went away.

Is there any hope to get it back before Trixie goes stable?

Kind regards,
