“hosed” feels like too strong of a word here.  DeprecationWarnings usually don’t break anything.  Sure, they’re annoying but they can usually be easily ignored.

Yes, there are some situations where DWs do actively break things (as I’ve mentioned, some Debuntu build/test environments).  But those are also relatively easier to silence, or at least the folks running those environments, or writing the code for those environments, are usually more advanced developers for whom setting an environment variable or flag isn’t that big of a deal.

Cheers,
-Barry
