 inclination is to keep the notices. If there's precedent for silent
 deprecation and/or you feel strongly that would be better for users, I
 won't oppose removing the notices.

 In my opinion, I think deprecation notices are the right way to go. They
 do a good job of flagging scripts and styles that really shouldn’t be
 hanging around anymore.

 > On the other hand, this warning is a visible error flag for any site
 that has debugging enabled in the environment.

 I don't think we should worried about them showing up as error flags when
 debugging is turned on, because well that’s exactly what debug mode is
 for. Besides, debugging mode isn’t meant for production, so it’s on the
 maintainer or site owner to handle those notices in their environment.
