We used to ignore the warnings with pylint-false-positives, and by
the time
it was removed from false-positives the check was also removed from pylint,
since the check was more heavy-handed than it should have been.

Ah, thanks. Well we import it only sparingly so perhaps we should add
it back into the list of deprecated modules and pragma our way out of it
when we know we're using something useful from it.
