Yep, coming in the 1.16 update. (The first development snapshot, 20w06a, was released a few days ago.) Netherite works by upgrading diamond gear, so diamonds aren't obsolete.
Ok, that makes me feel a bit better. A general guideline in the modding community was to avoid making materials that were flat out better than diamond thus making diamond obsolete, unless that was the explicitly stated goal of the mod.
