Philipp,

You seem to have missed Nick's posts where he clearly accepts that a middle ground is necessary. R D Murray is also still unconvinced. (And obviously I myself am against reverting to the behavior from 7 years ago.) If we can't agree on some middle ground, the status quo will be maintained.

Hi Guido,

As far as I can see, the general consensus seems to be to turn them back on in general: The last person to argue against it was Paul Moore, and he since said: “OK, I overstated [that you’re ‘hosed’ by DeprecationWarnings appearing]. Apologies. My recollection is of a lot more end user complaints when deprecation warnings were previously switched on than others seem to remember, but I can't find hard facts, so I'll assume I'm misremembering.” Besides, quite some of the problems people mention would only be fixed by turning them on in general, not with the compromise. So I don’t think we need a compromise, right? Best, Philipp Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> schrieb am Mi., 8. Nov. 2017 um 03:46 Uhr:

To cut this thread short, I say we should use Nick's proposal to turn these warnings on for main but off elsewhere. (See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-November/150364.html.)
