Comment (by azaozz):

 The whole `doing_it_wrong` concept is actually NUX for new developers and
 beginner PHP programmers that are starting to work with WordPress.
 Currently the errors it spits are very unfriendly and often break the rest
 of the output (headers already sent, etc.).

 IMHO we can afford to make the experience a little better. We won't need
 to do a lot of hand-holding but can at least tell these users that they
 need a debugging plugin in a nicer way without breaking WP :) The same is
 true for all the deprecated notices.

 n that terms I think something like 18453-2.patch is a needed enhancement
 and it should include all deprecated notices too. The only thing it still
 needs is to remove the direct links to plugins and instead link to a codex
 page about debugging in WordPress.
