Gah, seven years on from Python 2.7's release, I still get caught by
that. I'm tempted to propose we reverse that decision and go back to
enabling them by default :P

If app devs don't want their users seeing deprecation warnings, they
can silence them globally during app startup, and end users can do the
same in PYTHONSTARTUP for their interactive sessions.

Cheers,
Nick.
