This kind of change is the kind an edition can make, though I’m not 100% sure if the plan for 2018 is to warn or error on the older syntax.

I feel like a warning for one edition and error on the next would make it straightforward as to how much time is left to update the code.

That’s generally true, the question is, do you warn in 2015 or 2018?

That being said, this particular fix is 100% automatable, and rustfix can already do it, so the time to update is “a few seconds”.
