Do PayPal smart buttons require an intent?

I recently created some buttons and copied the code directly from their website. I copied and pasted exactly what they gave me. However, when I checked this morning I noticed that there was a warning in the console. When I checked their documentation I saw that leaving the "intent" parameter empty defaulted to "capture". Now, the buttons give me the following warning: "Expected intent=subscription to be passed to SDK, but got intent=capture". I don't see "subscription" as an intent value mentioned in their documentation. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Below is the warning given in the console:

smart_button_validation_error_expected_intent_subscription
Expected intent=subscription to be passed to SDK, but got intent=capture

The warning was added recently; that intent=subscription query string parameter will be required in some future time.

The future requirement hasn't made its way into the documentation yet, but I expect you'll see it there soon.

Basically, add intent=subscription to your SDK line now when using subscriptions for them to be future-proof.

This hardly seems like a future proofing... What about if I want to use both createOrder and createSubscription with the same sdk? Adding intent=subscription breaks createOrder. What would be a proper solution in this case?
