Lately (I think after upgrading node-red to v4.0.2 in docker) I am seeing 2 deprecationWarnings.

Hi @janvda

There is nothing for you to fix. This is a warning about usage of a function that will be removed in a future node.js release.

We are aware of the issue and it'll be addressed in the next Node-RED maintenance release.
