rdmanifests are defined here: http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0112.html
They are a tool that works for developers who are installing from source on more exotic platforms. But it's an important tool for users not on our main supported platforms.
They are not recommended for significant distribution and sharing. And cannot be used in a released package.
We don't expect to put a lot of energy into adding features. But because there are use cases where it is valuable and there's no viable alternative, we have not chosen to deprecate it.

My recommendation is that rdmanifests should only be used as a last resort if there are no other options.
