Q: /etc/launchd-user.conf and launchd.conf no longer work in Yosemite 10.10.2

As the subject says. According to this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201684, they should. However according to the man page for launchd.conf. "launchd.conf is no longer respected by the system."  Setting "umask 077" in /etc/launchd-user.conf should be forcing the default file creation permissions to 600, and folder creation to 700, but it is not doing anything.

 

I've tried this on a fresh install of 10.10.2. doing a "touch 1" creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw-r--r--. On a Mavericks install it creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw------- as expected.

OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
