No, the reason they're hidden by default is that for most users they're not actionable most of the time.

Ideally any deprecated feature should have a replacement, and this replacement should be available in at least one version before adding the deprecation warning.

Isn't the whole point of making DeprecationWarnings hidden by default that it lets us add the new thing and deprecate the old thing in the same release, without creating too much disruption? -n
