Isn't that the entire point of warnings? When you're working at the REPL, you're the one in control of which APIs you use, so you should be the one to know about deprecations.

If I see a warning once every REPL session, I know about the deprecation already, thank you. I don't need to be taken by the hand like a little child. Besides, the code I write in the REPL is not meant for durable use.

Antoine.
