PendingDeprecationWarning lets us introduce the change gradually.

 * PendingDeprecationWarnings aren't actually visible to the end user
unless the turn on the -W flag to the Python interpreter

 * DeprecationWarning is visible by default.

By making the change over three releases, it gives plenty of
code-level warnings that a change is going to happen, including a
period where you can be warned of the change at your option.
