A big red warning (and not error / failure) will bring a much needed
kinetic force for the change IMO, on the same lines as the warning when
using the old apt-keys stuff.
Hence, I request for making deb822 the default format and deprecating
the previous .list method with a noisy warning.
You ask in the wrong place: try debian-devel, or file a request against
the relevant packages (apt?)
However, can I point out that the pre-822 format has been around for *27
years*: it's going to take a long time for people who are familiar with
it to internalise the new format. Introducing nagging warnings too soon
will frustrate people. We will have to be a bit patient.
