Obviously, the best thing to do is give them as much heads up as you can perhaps even telling clearance delivery but I don't understand the worry/angst of other pilots. It's not a big deal HND, departure sees it all the time... every day... it's a quite normal occurrence not being able to make climb restrictions. Just use the derate climb power like the fleet wants and don't stress over it!
