The flag is deprecated and someday (in the far future) might be removed at which point it will start to give a hard error when passed on the command line unless we go to special lengths to accept it and ignore it (https://godbolt.org/z/xn48sq85W), so it's better to always tell the user about the deprecation instead of only when the flag is the effective optimization level.
