I suspect the eventual outcome is going to be dropping that particular warning (since it's been problematic for Fedora's 3.6 backport as well, and the problems are due to the warning itself, not the locale coercion), but I'd prefer to keep the notification at least for a while (potentially even until alpha 1).

As long as we take it out for 3.7.0 I'll be happy. At that point it can be enabled by whichever flag we have that says emit all warnings instead of silently suppressing them.

This reminds me of pip with it's 20 lines of ssl and sudo warnings -- it makes it nearly unusable as I have to search and search to find the two lines somewhere in the middle that I'm interested in.
