Is there an issue for this, because I still see the wrapper function in entity.inc. And, fwiw, I despise this change.

I didn`t find issue yet, possibly this needs @todo )
The entity_get_info() marked as deprecated in sources but there were no any change-records before this one

[edit]

I read the issue, and there is nothing relevant to marking this function as deprecated. I don't understand this change notice. Removing entity_get_info() in this manner is horrible DX. You are ripping out an API function for an obscure chained method.

Why would we do that? We didn't deprecate entity_create().

Use code like

      $exporter = new \SebastianBergmann\Exporter\Exporter();
      foreach(\Drupal::entityManager()->getDefinitions() as $id => $definition) {
        if (is_a($definition ,'Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityType')) {
          $entities_info[$id] = $exporter->toArray($definition);
        }
      }

(See discussion in #2304863: EntityType should support toArray())

Drupal::entityManager() is deprecated and so is EntityManager:

If you want to output a list of entities in D8 with Drush try: drush ev "print_r(array_keys(\Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getDefinitions()));"
Or a specific entity's definition like moderation_state, try: drush ev "print_r(\Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getDefinition('moderation_state'));
