I wasn't, because I didn't look.  Note also that I wasn't asking who;
I don't think that matters.

Using Python 2.4.4, I get a deprecation warning for *regex*.  So you
shut up the deprecation warning for Python 2.5 by introducing one for
Python 2.4.

About the gopherlib deprecation?  That wasn't deprecated until
recently; it was regex that was declared obsolete in 1.5, and 2.4
generates a deprecation warning.  I'll take it that you didn't test
your change with Python 2.4, which is still the supported Python for
Zope 3.4 (whatever that means).

Because of the deprecation warning from the regex module.  Deprecation
warnings aren't breakages, but when running tests, they can make it a
lot harder to see real errors as the output is generated by the test
runner.  This is especially bad if you have a lot of separate
functional testing layers.
