oh wow, that's really annoying :(

at least the MR that disables deprecation notices for non-test 
environments was merged upstream and that should help with future 
releases... at least I hope.

great, I've installed those on top of the current packages in a new VM. 
the deprecation notices were being shown before I installed the new 
packages. after installing the packages above the result is much cleaner 
and the website looks more consistent.
I have not yet tested csv export since I haven't really created the IDO 
database in that VM. but I expect it to work better now

thanks!
