[issue6837] Mark the compiler package as deprecated

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Hi Georg, thanks for your comment.

I'm not sure I fully understand, though.

The compiler package is widely used, okay.  So I suppose that means that
the desire here is to make those users happy?

But the compiler package is deprecated, and has known bugs which will
not be fixed.

But to avoid making people unhappy, using the compiler package shouldn't
emit a deprecation warning (despite the fact that it is deprecated). 
Because... seeing the message will make people unhappy?  In contract
specifically to the fact that bugs in the package are going to remain
unfixed and a replacement is being put forward.  It's the message that
is going to cause the upset?

Thanks for any clarification.
