Not useful:
1) it requires finding all scripts that have the problem and
creating new
versions of such, testing that something else didn't break.
1a) it requires finding all the locations in those scripts. Not all
will be obvious as some may only be triggered under specific circumstances.
2) It suppresses all warnings -- it isn't just suppressing the new
warning, but all warnings and messages. That's generally considered
"bad practice". I'm surprised you would suggest such a hack.
