There wasn't many/any similar libraries that I found (zope.deprecation is probably the closest) and twisted has something in-built to it that is something similar. So in order to avoid creating our own version of zope.deprecation in that review we might as well create a neat name that can be useful for oslo/openstack/elsewhere...

We should be able to adjust the deprecation warnings here.

Although I'd almost want these kinds of warnings to not occur/appear at 
worker start since at that point the operator can't do anything about 
them... An idea was to have the jenkins/gerrit/zuul logs have these 
depreciation warnings turned on (perhaps in a blinky red/green color) to 
have them appear at development time (since these would be targeted to 
features depreciated that are only really relevant to developers, not 
operators). Once released then they can just stay off (which I believe 
is the python default[1] to turn these off unless '-Wonce or -Wall' is 
passed to the worker/runtime on python startup)...

(DeprecationWarning and its descendants are ignored by default since 
python 2.7+)
