Comment(by realityexists):

 The old signature is not "gone" - it still works just fine. And it
 probably wouldn't take much effort to keep it working for at least a
 couple of major releases.

 The problem with NOTICE is that it's typically on by default, so the
 message would still flood the logs. But the problem with DEBUG is that
 it's off by default. :)

 Ideally, this would be something the user could control. So by default it
 might be NOTICE or even WARNING, so that users become aware of deprecated
 functions. But then the user could say "OK, I know about this now, I'll
 fix it when I can, but for now I want to turn off this message". Could it
 be a PostgreSQL setting (eg. "SET postgis_deprecation_log_level = DEBUG")
 or something similar?
