I'm wondering if it would be sensible to recommend only disabling the
warnings if running with a known version of Python e.g.
if sys.version_info < (3, 8):
with warnings.simplefilter('ignore', DeprecationWarning):
import module
The idea here is to prompt the developer to refactor to not use the
deprecated functionality early enough that users aren't impacted.
