Yes, and it was a major disaster because most sensible projects compile
with warnings as errors enabled (it is also the default in dub) and thus
putting a warning breaks a many more times more code than putting a
deprecation. We have already talked that through before with Martin and
it seemed acknowledged that pattern has to be changed to "deprecation ->
(optional warning) -> error".
