www. is deprecated. I wouldn’t go as far to say avoid www—just as long as you pick one and redirect the other.

Yep. I prefer no-www, but as long as one redirects to the other, it doesn't really matter which one is the "normative". 301 for the win, baby.
I understand that the site itself offers some qualifications to the statement, but the simple phrase "www. is deprecated" won't be true until DNS SRV records are supported by HTTP.
I mean, all they're saying is "most sites should consider HTTP the most important service they provide", since they aren't also claiming one should stop using per-service hostnames/aliases such as news., mail., or ftp.
