util.inherits() is deprecated and should be avoided to use.

It's not deprecated, just legacy which means that it's okay if you use it. You can see the differences in https://nodejs.org/api/documentation.html#stability-index. The reason why it's marked legacy is that it doesn't establish the prototype chain as described in nodejs/node#4179 but it works pretty well in most cases. Is this patch aiming to solve a problem we are facing with the usage of util.inherits here?
