Deprecation warnings should contain suggestions for alternatives.

The suggestions are also deprecated

Or don’t support all the features

I feel like in android, the alternatives are always soooo long and tedious to implement

Rust afaik does that too

PHP does that. I think a few others too.

Or maybe it was my IDE. I don't remember. Not a issue I deal with frequently.

My assumption is that php itself is deprecated so they don't bother with warnings.

What if the suggestions have warnings like "experimental" or "unstable"?
