Command line option -Q (floor division)

[Christoph Zwerschke]

I noticed that contrary to what is said in
http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/whatsnew/node7.html,
namely that integer divison should print deprecation
warnings beginning with Python 2.3, even Python 2.4
is still quiet about it, i.e. you still need to explicitely
set the -Q warn option to see the warnings.
Is that by intent or has it simply been forgotten?

Just for the records, Anthony Baxter explained that this is by intent,
because it would be still too disruptive a change. The testsuite does
not even run completely with -Qnew yet. So it will be probably only
changed with Python 3.0.

Now it does, thanks for the nudge.

So it will be probably only changed with Python 3.0.

Most certainly.
