Of course, it is cool to be informed about deprecation warnings. No 
question about that. But I dislike the fact that TYPO3 is shipped in 
"debug mode". That's just not right.

That may be true in your case. :-)

If it is only about the core, then core devs should make sure that the 
core doesn't use deprecated stuff, right?

OK, if this is the way to come to a compromise, then I will have a look 
and provide a patch.
