+// APIs (ares_parse_*_reply, ares_get_servers_ports, ares_set_servers_ports,
+// etc.) in favor of ares_dns_parse, ares_get_servers_csv, and
+// ares_set_servers_csv. A full migration is tracked separately; this pragma
+// silences the build warnings until that work is complete.
+// TODO(omghante): Migrate to the replacement c-ares APIs.
