Follow-up to issue #13633. Lib/html/parser.py still has: if convert_charrefs is _default_sentinel: convert_charrefs = False # default warnings.warn("The value of convert_charrefs will become True in " "3.5. You are encouraged to set the value explicitly.", DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)

Here's a patch to set the default "convert_charrefs" value to True (with documentation and whatsnew updates).

FYI, this breaks one of my programs. I find it now because it only threw errors in rare cases, and I've never seen the deprecated warning because I don't check the logs unless something goes wrong.

DeprecationWarnings are silenced by default. You can enable them by using the -W Python flag. They are also enabled while running tests with unittest, so you should have seen them there.
