The user has two choices:

1. get deprecation messages and fix the code
2. add -d and ignore it

I don't see any point in printing messages and ignoring them. I don't believe it 
improves the user experience.

The user is going to have to eventually fix the code, and that WILL BE ANNOYING 
to him. Guaranteed. There's no way to deprecate things and not annoy people.
