Having a quiet deprecation warning with the understanding that things will stay around for *years* is fine. Although it makes me wonder how much value the deprecation message really adds. I mean, why the hell print a message, when the only correct thing to do is to just look at and fix Xorg?
And if you can't get Xorg fixed, then the message is kind of pointless too?
So really, I don't see the point of even a oneliner message. You guys know who the user is. There's no value in the message. Either you fix the user or you don't.
It's not like "oh, it's Xorg that uses our drm interfaces" is a big surprise, is it?
Its not X.org the X server,
It is plymouthd using libkms. It affects -radeon, -nouveau and -intel who all try to copy the fbcon created using a dumb buffer into the Screen Pixmap. -Chris
