The replacement is to use the replication_factor variable in strategy options. If you look in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/tags/cassandra-0.8.0/conf/schema-sample.txt you can see an example of that.
The issue to do that was https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1263 The reasoning was that NetworkTopologyStrategy defines replication factor per datacenter (in strategy_options). In 0.7 the global replication_factor in that case is redundant and isn't enforced because the real replication factor is in the strategy options. CASSANDRA-1263 pushes that down to the strategy options so that it would be controlled in one place - the strategy_options.
