Kindly recalling that the intended meaning of deprecation warnings is =
duly documented in the manual? I have read the manual when I designed my =
error handler many year ago; as a consequence, this deprecation warning =
will not at all be disruptive for me.=20

I strongly doubt that a mere statement of intention in the manual is of =
much utility, given that many people apparently don=E2=80=99t read the =
manual when they design their error handlers... We should rather more =
heavily promote the true meaning of =E2=80=9Cdeprecation=E2=80=9D.
