Squid is capable of running with it present in the config. It just has
no meaning any more. So there is no reason to halt an otherwise usable
proxy.

If you run "squid -k parse" to verify the config it displays an UPGRADE
notice about it.

squid -k parse is better to use for verifying configurations. It will
continue past some types of FATAL and give you a better list of the
errors that exist, rather than just the first detected.
