Good question. A NOTICE just might be ignored, breaking everything 
"surprisingly" in 7.5.

To speak a bit more general, how about some sort of "deprecation 
checker" setting, if set to true anything marked as deprecated will 
throw an error, if false only a notice will be generated. This would 
enable users to check their existing stuff for future compatibility 
before it's broken in the next release.

Andreas
