Did a "switch" get flipped in v0.4 for more aggressive warnings?

Between yesterday and today, I started getting a ton of new warnings. Easy to fix, but I thought were handled using Compat.jl. I'm using 0.4.0-rc1+74

Yes, this is expected. Until https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commit/1b6efc7ab297b7b8aea4d7cb0b52fb589392042b it wasn't possible to deprecate bindings — only deprecated methods would display warnings. Those types were already "deprecated" but nobody knew since they weren't noisy. Even String was still occasionally used base Julia.
Now using a deprecated name will also throw warnings. *Lots* of packages suddenly got lots of warnings like yours. This is a great thing, and will help prevent breakage down the road.

Thanks, guess it's time to get to work cleaning up my packages!
