@dnadeau4 This is still an issue. Not sure what the solution is or if anyone in this team can do something about this.

[durack1]

@zshaheen theoretically #57 (CDAT/cdat#1151) should solve this, the current cdms2 ESMP release is 6.3.0 whereas 7.0.0 has been out for a while

[zshaheen]

@durack1 Thanks for the heads up. Glad to know that there is a possible solution. Hopefully someone will bother upgrading soon.

@zshaheen it's on @dnadeau4 list but if you have cycles and it really bothers you I'm sure he won't mind 😉

This warning has been fix with ESMF 7.0.0
