I guess not, but by printing out a warning 1000000000000000000000000000 times per build, it may encourage them to upgrade ;-) > > I tend to be a late adopter ;) (for legit reasons, really - to catch > things like this) so I'd be OK carrying that patch locally. > > > Emitting that warning 1000000000000000000000000000 times per build is a > bit obnoxious.
