The warning will not be reverted, if that's what you mean. The problem
is that chkpass_in is broken by design. We need to find some actual
users of the type and see what they think is the least painful solution.
(Or, if we find out there aren't any, maybe we'll just flush the whole
module ...)

I will not promise that it will change by 9.5. It may take some time
to collect information, and 9.4 will not have been in wide use for all
that long before 9.5 freezes.

You will need to adjust your test. This is by no means the first time
that we've intentionally shipped contrib modules that generate warnings;
there was that messy business with the => operator ...
