I thought this was in preparation for an eventual change, but I might be
wrong (1.6.3 introduced several such warnings).

Regardless, my point was: the warning was introduced for a purpose
(either to point out potentially confusing behavior, or to warn the user
about an upcoming change in default behavior). Showing up now and saying
"I don't like this warning" without addressing any of the points in the
original discussion or making any sort of proposal to try to accomplish
the same goals is just counterproductive.
