I think this could be very confusing for people new to Julia (and maybe even not so new). Is it reasonable to turn errors into deprecation warnings in 1.0 (or 1.0.x )? And then release 1.1 ASAP, when most packages are upgraded ? I know that’s what 0.7 is for, but it would be easier for people to understand and lessen the potential backlash.
