FWIW, I was on the fence about this being a chatty diagnostic as well. I 
eventually figured that it was fine because it's going to `stderr` and it 
definitely gets the job done of letting people know. Most folks don't read 
release notes, so putting the information there is a good idea, but not really 
sufficient for warning about deprecation.

I don't think we have a better solution at hand and the point @lebedev.ri 
brings up about older versions is a valid one, so I agree, let's move this into 
the release notes rather than spamming the command line.
