The deprecation stage is the warning stage. Note that the two

There needs to be some kind of transition period where you can
write code that is compatible with all in some way or another.
A large percentage of people, especially since this is the
default for dub, treat warnings as errors. Warnings should NOT be
part of a deprecation cycle, that's what deprecations are for.
Warnings are not the purview of compilers (or shouldn't be
anyway).
