If we were to make it opt-in, I would rather release a 3.2.0 version; this
way we can think of 3.1 as a "botched" release and more emphatically
communicate the change to users.

Sounds like a good idea. The problem in this case was that we didn't
foresee stuff actually breaking, otherwise it would be an opt-in feature
from the start.

Guys, anymore opinions? I'm willing to prepare a 3.2.0 release today with
warnings opt-in if we all agree this is the best course of action.

Cheers,
Bruno.
