             Summary: Introduce "strict mode" for the aurora client
                 Key: AURORA-110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-110
             Project: Aurora
          Issue Type: Story
          Components: Client
            Reporter: Kevin Sweeney
            Priority: Minor


Right now our deprecation cycles are generally accompanied by printing a 
(sometimes ominous) warning message to the screen for a time period, and then 
releasing a backwards incompatible client that will cause breakage. Introduce a 
"strict mode" for the client that fails rather than warns when a 
known-deprecated feature is used.
It's a better user experience than finding out (via a client error) that a 
client no longer supports a feature you relied on and would allow us a 
predictable-but-fair deprecation cycle - e.g. the "quick fix" is always to 
remove the --strict flag. For inspiration see Python's _future_ and gcc's 
-Werror.
