Is that really true?  It seems to me that Guido indicated a 
sitecustomize-solution wasn't possible, in which case suppression is no 
better than elimination.

By the way, while I haven't formally reviewed any of the patches to delay 
the warning, the one I saw that went by on Python-Dev looked quite 
straightforward and minimal.  Until I saw it, I also believed that trying 
to implement something like that would be difficult and delicate.  But the 
patch I saw looked very simple and direct.
