--- Comment #1 from Jonathan M Davis <issues.dlang at jmdavisProg.com> ---
I would point out that making deprecations errors pretty much defeats their
entire purpose vs just changing the code without a deprecation. They're
supposed to inform you about code that you're going to need to change without
immediately breaking your code. So, anyone compiling their code with -de is
going to be getting errors when they're not supposed to - and it _will_ cause
problems in some cases with generic code, because template constraints
routinely test whether a particular piece of code compiles or not.

Of course, regardless of how deprecations are treated, there then needs to be a
way to transform your code appropriately so that it no longer triggers the
deprecation, but deprecations are only treated as errors if you choose to do
so, and it's usually a bad idea to do so.
