+## Classic Config File Format Example
+
+Feeling nostalgic and looking for the [classic configuration file example](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/v3.7.x/docs/rabbitmq.config.example)?
+Now that's old school! Keep in mind that classic configuration file **should be considered deprecated**.
+Prefer `rabbitmq.conf` (see [new style configuration format](https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#config-file-formats))
+with `advanced.config` as needed.
