I don't think there is any great push to prefer the new style over
the old style 'just because' when you are doing simple things.
If you're referring to "%s" % x versus "{}".format(x), no, there's no
official push for format. They tried that, but the push-back from people
who like the %s formatting was too large.
%s formatting is NOT deprecated, and will not be any time in the
forseeable future;
