Comment (by Tim Graham):
I was surprised we would remove the warning without documenting the
migration steps. Part of the reason the warning was added is because the
migration process is difficult.
It's extremely difficult to migrate from the default user model to a
custom user model.
-Carl in #24370
I guess you would favor a wontfix on such documentation (#25313) and
instead promote the user profile approach.
