[AstroPy] fits coordinate system keyword

I am getting very annoyed of the warning that keeps popping up

WARNING: FITSFixedWarning: RADECSYS= 'FK5' / default
RADECSYS is non-standard, use RADESYSa. [astropy.wcs.wcs]

I'm not sure when the FITS standard changed, but MOST legacy fits files (I
use) will have the RADECSYS keyword. It works, and I do not see why someone
felt the need to keep this warning being popped up all the time.

I think that by default it should be off.

Since you all probably think it should be there, I would like to know how
to turn it off ?  any suggestion on how to do that?

Thanks,

    Paul
