Warnings can be an important part of the deprecation process.
The next release of the compiler will illustrate that.

But the import issues weren't solved with warnings, they went
strait to deprecation.
And I'd argue that warnings are an unnecessary step in the
deprecation process. IMO the deprecation -> undocumented ->
removed cycle for Phobos works well. Adding another step to it
needlessly delays the inevitable (how long has array.sort been a
warning?), and I don't see why the same process won't work for
DMD.
