Moreover, this warning is by no means new -- it has been there for
approximately four and a half years by my quick trawl through git
(e09a76cd, 2004-03-19) so it's a fair guess that nobody is actually ever
going to make the proposed change, otherwise they would have by now.
And without fail every few months or so someone sends an impassioned
plea to this list to keep the feature, as advised by the text of the
warning:

I'd say it's time to remove this warning or make a decision.
