<p style="margin:1em 0px">In order to reduce the impact of such a deprecation, I’ve filed the necessary scipy PR: <a href="https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/11755" style="color:rgb(51,51,238);text-decoration:none">https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/11755</a>.<br>It’s unlikely we’ll remove this function entirely any time soon, but the act of deprecating it may cause a few failing CI runs in projects where warnings are turned into errors.</p>
