I don't think so. We generally consider a warning a "harder" error than a
deprecation (unlike deprecations, they are part of the default
error_reporting level), so I don't think replacing or adding a deprecation
would do much here. The only way you can be unaware of problems resulting
from this change is if you are deliberately suppressing warnings, in which
case chances are very good that you are also suppressing deprecations.
