Please reread the Subject line. Someone else, not I, was apparently annoyed or puzzled enough to ask what this incomprehensible "warning" is all about. It may be "little" to you, but it was important or confusing enough for someone to ask here for help about it. That's not something to belittle or sneer at. But no one asked what the corresponding deprecation notice means. That notice is clear enough. If you feel that a byte-compiler message can also help here, please consider just saying that not using LIMIT is=20 deprecated. That's all. (Just a suggestion.)
