OK. I strongly prefer simpler implementation, as long as it won't make end-user experience (over time across Git 3.0 boundary) overly unpleasant. Numbing the pain for short-term gain and letting the inevitable removal (not deprecation) suddenly hit them is also extremely unpleasant at Git 3.0 boundary, and such a pain is probably a problem of their own creation, but I learned after Git 1.6 fiasco that users always blame us for their own failings, so I still am fairly reluctant to see us offer a way to squelch the warnings too easily and forget about it. Thanks.
