Uhm?. I am confused...

The reason to rollback the deprecation warning is because it is breaking
other external modules too, see a previous post. Since there is no 2.8
planned, a deprecation warning is not useful. See the thread linked in
the tracker.

About converting the deprecation warning to a py3k warning... Would a
py3k warning be converted to an error when python is invoked as "-We"?.
If that is the case, we are in the same situation.
