I'd still prefer not talking deprecation, per se, in this NEP (but my objection is weaker). I would definitely start adding in informative, noisy warnings in these cases, though. Along the lines of, "Hey, this is a dodgy construction that typically gives unexpected results. Here are .oindex/.vindex that might do what you actually want, but you can use .legacyindex if you just want to silence this warning". Rather than "Hey, this is going to go away at some point."

Yes, agreed. These will use a new warning class, perhaps numpy.IndexingWarning.

Perfect.
