Returning to this topic:
It seems eieio-object-name-string has been de-obsoleted, but the fact
that object-print is now obsolete causes 157 identical warnings
when bootstrapping:

  eieio.el: `object-print' is an obsolete generic function (as of 26.1);
  use `cl-print-object' instead.

Minimal example:
rm lisp/emacs-lisp/eieio.elc
and byte-compile any file that requires 'eieio.

It would be great if cl-defmethod only warned when it was in the file
actually being compiled.
