I understand that deprecation warning has their own issues, but if you already put some thoughts into that topic, I'd like you to elaborate more then just provide statements like above.
DNF in early versions (1.1) provided a warning when `yum` was called. It was nice and transparent way how to send a message about redirection to DNF, but we got very strong negative feedback about that, therefore we removed it. I don't think we should repeat that approach. Personally I don't feel comfortable with education of our users using warnings, because they have value at first occurrence but then they are annoying.
Why don't you make them one-time only, then? I.e. drop a file in user's home directory, e.g. ~/.config/dnf5/dnf-warning-displayed or something and not display the warning if the file is there.
