It's not like migrating would be hard: a replace is enough to fix the
rare projects doing that. And even if they missed the warning, it's a
syntax error anyway, so you will get the error as soon as you try to run
the program, not at a later point at runtime.

What about doing a poll, then suggests a warning on 3.8, removed in 4.0 ?
