It was established behaviour, and it's now the third report about it:
users ask how to achieve the same functionality, and we don't have a
better answer yet.
The idea behind declaring it deprecated to start with, I guess, was
that we would eventually replace it by more flexible and generic
configuration options, which is still planned. But there's nothing
preventing us to alias this in the future to a particular
configuration.
So, stop scaring users off, and un-deprecate this.
