And there's nothing wrong with making it a warning for N releases, or 
allocating a new flag for experimental features, assuming it really is 
the correct approach.  Also, with discussion, we may even be able to 
prepare for upcoming changes or put off creating code-level hacks to 
mimic the same behavior.
