Well, then all meta submodules except these. Or (if you think there could be
extensions that add other meta submodules using continue) use a whitelist for
the modules that should not trigger a warning. It just doesn't make any sense
for meta=tokens and similar.

I find it a bit odd to explicitly request a specific continuation format if I'm
not interested at all in the continuation data. Once the default is switched
the parameter won't serve any purpose in that query, so it will just make
maintenance a bit harder. Using a parameter that is meant to specify the
continuation format to just suppress a temporary warning seems misuse to me.
