No, I'm not talking about changelogs - which as you say tend to get very lengthy on a system upgrade and either ignored or are a pita to wade through, and for many users, much of what's in there isn't relevant to their use case. I'm talking about, as a service/daemon starts, then it spits out a warning notice **IFF** a deprecated option is encountered in the config. I've seen the latter many times, and it works - doesn't stop the service working, doesn't disappear in a gazzillion pages of changelogs that no-one reads (because a lot of the changelog isn't relevant to the user's use case) - but does provide a warning that the config needs re-visiting.
