One other thought:  having a PendingDeprecationWarning is somewhat
innocuous.  By default, those warnings are filtered out (set to Ignore).  
You have to ask to see them.    It would be much different for a 
DeprecationWarning.

It is pretty conservative to issue a pending warning now, a deprecation
warning in 2.4, and remove the duplicate method in 2.5.  This is doubly
true for a brand new module that has only a minimal existing code base.
Not bringing it up for 12 to18 months is, IMHO, much more impactful.
