you just need to fix it or use newer versions of the extension

so? this is the common output of a deprecation log.

exactly my idea which is perfectly normal in so many situations as 
extension developer


if you want to make an extension which works perfect in 4-5 and 4-6 you 
*always* need to take care of *many* things. I failed with that last
