Just FYI, not everyone always compiles every new GCC version themselves. I
generally use Debian stable which has GCC-12. Today, I was trying Debian trixie
(which is still testing) for the first time. So for users like me, the
deprecation period hasn't even begun.

It might be frustrating for developers (same for me when users report bugs
about last week's version of my code), but please consider distribution release
cycles, especially with a big package like GCC that not everyone can easily
build anytime. Though in this case, apparently the damage was already done in
GCC-12 or earlier.
