it isn't useful to tell /users/ of packages to spend time figuring out
who to complain to that some packages code that they somehow depend on
(often transitively) is not modern enough.
People also distribute code other ways. A few years after cleaning up
pypi, you still wouldn't know how much pain and for whom making this a
SyntaxWarning or SyntaxError would actually be.
Just do it and get it over with.
