The qiskit-ibm-provider package is currently planned to be deprecated and removed at some point, with all its functionality moving to qiskit-ibm-runtime. When that happens, we should track through any extant deprecation warnings (especially in the 0.46 release) and make sure they suggest qiskit-ibm-runtime, not qiskit-ibm-provider, as alternatives / a potential provider when needed.

At the time of writing this issue, the only uses are in qiskit/__init__.py, but there may be more added during the 0.46 cycle.

When removing, we should search for references to qiskit-ibm-provider (the normal way the PyPI package is spelt) and qiskit_ibm_provider (how it's imported) to check for use in any code blocks.

See Qiskit/qiskit-ibm-runtime#1285 for more detail.

Today, on the day of the 0.46.0 release, the only messages mentioning the IBM Provider are in the deprecation messages of qiskit.IBMQ, which I think it's fair to say IBMProvider was a more direct replacement of. Since ibm-provider isn't fully merged to ibm-runtime, and we can always change the warning message in a patch release, I'll close this as complete for 0.46.0.
