Comment(by mwiebe):

 I believe I added this warning during all the datetime changes. There are
 a number of related bugs, and I think it has been discussed several times,
 but no one has gone ahead and started this seemingly obvious change. Since
 dtypes return a hash value, they must be immutable according to the Python
 specification.

 I didn't realize that I need to explicitly turn on deprecation warnings
 for the tests,  I assumed numpy.test() would do that automatically when it
 started. I still think it should be changed to do that, but I'll change my
 test-running command.
