Hmm. Having to deal with these warnings until 2035 kind of sucks. Do
you think that it be worth forcing the use of
-Wno-deprecated-declarations only for versions older than 2.13.3 in
the Makefiles where we could see these warnings?
As a whole, this kind of enforcement gives me mixed feelings, because
it would also mean that we would miss what looks like legit
deprecation warnings that we had better look at and study, even for
LLVM. At least not enforcing any policy lets us know about these
issues.
