Comment (by Otto42):

 Ah. Yeah, that's good too, but I didn't mean tricks with error_reporting
 and such. These two particular warnings that were spotted occur for
 reasons outside of WordPress. The mysql_old_password one happens because
 the server is using old password hashing mechanisms. The minor version
 mismatch happens because PHP has the wrong version of the php mysql
 libraries installed given the mysql client libraries available on the
 server.

 Any user seeing these warnings should contact their host about it, and the
 host should be informed as to how to fix their systems so that the
 warnings do not occur, even if we're not suppressing them.

 Suppressing them contingent on WP_DEBUG makes sense, regardless of the
 method.
