Well, we can find out. :)

I *believe* that the deprecation warnings won't be shown to people,
because the 'bzr' script sets all deprecation warnings to 'ignore' if
the bzr version is 'final'. (So an official release, versus an
in-progress release, etc.)

Except... 2.1.0b4 is 'beta' not 'final', so they'll get a big 'warning
don't do this' anytime they access a bzr+ssh / sftp location.

You may want to try it and confirm my guess.
