.Customer Impact
Reduced complexity in opting to keep warnings as warnings, making it easier to configure warnings how you expect.
Regression?
No, this behavior is longstanding. It's higher severity now due to the NuGet Audit warnings, which are often created in one project (where a package is referenced) but raised in another (where the restore actually happened), which may have the easy-to-type form of the property but not the respected-before-this-change one.
Testing
New and existing automated tests.
Risk
Medium-low. Users almost certainly intended this behavior and it works this way in most project types. To mitigate risk further, the behavior can be reverted to the prior behavior with an environment variable (changewave).
