Nobody reads log files until things have gone belly up, and even then unrelated log entries get ignored. The way to get deprecation warnings noticed it to have the management application fail its "make check". Perhaps we could use a more structured notification, to make detecting use of deprecated features programmatically trivial. A QMP event might do.
