    CMakeForceCompiler: De-deprecate until more use cases have alternatives
    
    We deprecated this module in commit v3.5.0-rc1~295^2
    (CMakeForceCompiler: Deprecate this module and its macros, 2015-10-19)
    in order to determine whether anyone still has use cases that require
    it.  Indeed we still need to provide a way to work with toolchains that
    cannot link binaries without special flags.  Remove the deprecation
    warnings until we can provide an alternative to the module for this use
    case.

 Deprecated and Removed Features
 ===============================
 
-* The :module:`CMakeForceCompiler` module and its macros are now deprecated.
-  See module documentation for an explanation.
-
 * The :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-E time`` command now properly passes arguments
   with spaces or special characters through to the child process.  This
   may break scripts that worked around the bug with their own extra
