Maybe we need a new switch -Wbest-practices that would govern your warning? It could be enabled by default. I know of a few other -Wobsolete warnings that could be moved there (because some obsolete constructs don't have equivalent new formulations). It would be good if third-party macros (like Libtool's) could have a way of emitting best-practices warnings, too.
