Comment (by Collin Anderson):
I'm personally always in favor of keeping things fully functional forever,
to reduce the amount of work that developers need to do, as long as it's
easy enough to maintain ( https://groups.google.com/g/django-
developers/c/zImXMKzWN4A/m/4SNu7MyFAQAJ ). If so, then there probably
doesn't need to be a warning message at all, but certainly not for applied
migrations, and no need for a deprecation timeline. Just discourage its
use and move on. Again, as long as it's easy enough to maintain long-term.
If functionality is getting removed or no-op'd in the future, then I'd
suggest that yes there should be a warning (not just for un-applied
migrations), and in my opinion the warning message should suggest an
alternative or at least link to docs about this deprecation and how to fix
it (AddIndex/RemoveIndex or something?) And, ideally it would be a type of
change that could be automatically applied using django-codemod or django-
upgrade, but that might be asking for too much.
