Should we add an estimated date for removing setuptools.dep_util?

[abravalheri]

Right now we have a warning that is easily to miss out:

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/v69.0.0/setuptools/dep_util.py#L11

In the past we were criticised because of the lack of visibility (#3780), so maybe we should promote this to a SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning.

@jaraco does it make sense to add a due date for this warning and increase its visibility?

Yes, I agree. Thanks for catching that. 6 months for a due date seems suitable me. Feel free to tackle it or I'll get to it eventually.

Thanks for addressing in #4132. It seems Github doesn't provide cross-references for discussions.
