Yes, indeed. We should make sure, however, that the changes in the 2.6 libraries are the absolute minimum to get the job done. (I'm trying to pretend like this isn't violating the prohibition on all-inclusive overhauls in the stdlib.) The prohibition is on gratuitous changes, basically along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The stdlib is definitely broken if it raises warnings of that kind.

Just because it's massive breakage fixage doesn't mean that it's unlikely to break something else. :)
