FWIW, https://searchcode.com/?q=PendingDeprecationWarning&lan=19 says
there are about 6.786 results. I haven't looked extensively, but
Django seems to be in there. The msgpack library that is vendored by
pip (ironically, maintained by INADA-San) also uses it in one place.

Personally, I don't think deprecation is worth the disruption.
