Yes, indeed. We should make sure, however, that the changes in the 2.6

pretend like this isn't violating the prohibition on all-inclusive
overhauls in the stdlib.)
The prohibition is on *gratuitous* changes, basically along the lines of "if
it ain't broke, don't fix it". The stdlib is definitely broken if it raises
warnings of that kind.
Just because it's massive breakage fixage doesn't mean that it's
unlikely to break something else. :)
I agree but, contrariwise, just because we are likely to break other
things doesn't mean we shouldn't fix the massive breakage.
