Directory marker objects are real objects and thus should be included in normal listings. They only affect listings with the "path" query parameter.

While still supported for backwards compatibility, the "path" listings have been deprecated in favor of prefix/delimiter queries. Docs that include path query references should be updated to use prefix/delimiter queries.

No. see above. Instead, apps should use the prefix/delimiter queries. Legacy apps that use the old path queries will still work.
