True, but the hierarchy should still properly reflect increasing severity in my opinion. I am going to push for this; we will see if I get pushed back enough to not do it.
I have no idea what you mean by "properly reflect increasing severity". Should the more severe or less severe case be derived from the other? I doubt there is a single answer that we can readily agree on.
If DeprecationWarning and PendingDeprecationWarning need a class-hierarchy relationship (and I think they do; it *is* reasonable for someone to deal with them generically if they can reasonably want to deal with either), then it seems they need a common base:
+--AnyDeprecationWarning +--DeprecationWarning +--PendingDeprecationWarning
I can compromise and go with a common base class that both directly inherit from.
