Both.  It is deprecated and will go away when it's no longer needed.
It is still the case that the Hurd needs stdio and doesn't work with libio.
This is one of the things that needs to be changed in the Hurd.

The long term correct fix is the latter, but I don't think you are ready to
do that yet.  The Hurd code has some hairy uses of stdio.
