Deprecation warnings about conda.compat give no advice as to how to remove the warning #8512
Description
Current Behavior
Running conda env command emits a deprecation warning on stderr, with no obvious way to get rid of the warning, or to otherwise comply with its intended advice. Although I don't consider myself to be a "new player" to Python or to conda, the introduction of warnings like this, without advice as to how to rectify it, is problematic for the newcomer. I have scripts that call conda info to get information on available env's, but this warning coming out on stderr causes problems for many invocations of conda in my scripts, and so I seek to irradiate this warning or somehow adjust my scripts to avoid using the features thus deprecated. But the "bug" (if there is a bug) here is that there is no advice in the warning at all.
Steps to Reproduce
$ conda info --envs >/dev/null
WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Expected Behavior
There was no advice given in that message about how to make that warning disappear. Is the user doing something incorrect here? How do I make the error go away? Is there something I need to uninstall or stop using? If there is something I should do differently, then the message should state as such and not leave the user to guess.
