It's still perfectly fine to use this file.  The only reason
it's deprecated is that there's now a better way to define
limits (just add an entry to /etc/fstab like for any other
filesystem).  But if you want to use it, feel free.  As and
when it is obsoleted, we'll automatically create fstab
entries for you (should we decide to do that).  The advantage
of the fstab method is that it's compatible with all other
init systems.
