When I update python version, python packages, container image, etc for a service, I take a quick look at CI output, in addition to the all the other checks I do (like a couple basic real-world-usage end-to-end usage tests), to "smoke test" whether something not caught by outright CI failure caused some subtle problem.
So, I do often see deprecation warnings in CI output, and fix them. Am I a bad developer?
I think the mistake here is making some warnings default-hidden. The developer who cares about the user running their the app in a terminal can add a line of code to suppress them for users, and be more aware of this whole topic as a result (and have it more evident near the entrypoint of the program, for later devs to see also).
I think that making warnings error or hidden removes warnings as a useful tool.

But this is an old argument: Who should see Python warnings? (2017) https://lwn.net/Articles/740804/
