Setting scale_C to None by default and raising a warning in fit whenever scale_C is still None is a good way to educate users. If they want the warning to go away, they'll have to make an informed choice and explicitly set scale_C to either False or True. We had this discussion several times and couldn't reach a consensus so letting users choose for themselves seems like the best bet (the warning message should help users make the best decision depending on their need).

At least Dimitros did not seem to notice the warning about the behaviour of scale_C he got. Or maybe it was not informative?

Dimitros, could you comment?
