Apologies - I realized after initially commenting on the PR that I could have stated my objection immediately rather than direct you here.

I and my users are using users.conf for nearly every install and removing support for it would be disruptive to 100s of installs. I've also had some people reach out to me off-list expressing their concerns with it being removed. I am willing to take over all support for users.conf going forward. I can update the module deprecation page¹ indicating I am the maintainer.

If the deprecation warning remains I would need to be able to silence it with a command line flag or an option in asterisk.conf.

Kind regards,
Sean
