Instead they’d see breakage as DeprecationWarnings turned into errors. :(

I’m not saying that Python apps, regardless of who they are provided by, should expose DeprecationWarnings to their end users.  I actually think it’s good that they don’t because I don’t think most users care if their apps are written in Python, and wouldn’t know what to do about those warnings anyway.  And they do cause anxiety.

I suppose there are lots of ways to do this, but at least I’m pretty sure we all agree that end users shouldn’t see DeprecationWarnings, while developers should.
