Oracle does not really have 'security updates'. They provide 'patch
level' releases which contain bug fixes, sometimes new features, and
also security fixes. However, between patch level versions they should
not be making API changes that break your app. In this case, generating
a warning is not really an API level change but it can cause things
perceived as 'breakage' in many scenarios.

I wanted to emphasize that upstream, Oracle has accepted the bug report
about the deprecation warning being introduced in a patch level release.

If this means that they might revert this behavior again in an upcoming
patch level release or maybe keep it as a 'known issue', I'm not sure.
