Replying to [comment:9 roed]:
> Currently, you can feed random keyword arguments to most (all?) of the
finite field constructors and they'll have no effect.
That's certainly a serious bug, but outside the scope of this ticket.
Still, I think that `conway` needs to be deprecated because it used to do
something. Users should be made aware that the `conway` argument is no
longer needed. Something like this should work:
{{{
#!python
if 'conway' in kwds:
del kwds['conway']
from sage.misc.superseded import deprecation
deprecation(17569, "the 'conway' argument is deprecated, pseudo-conway
polynomials are now used by default if no variable name is given")
}}}
