Perhaps ImportWarning should default to being ignored, the same way PendingDeprecationWarning does?

Then -Wd would become 'the one obvious way' to debug import problems +1 I'm not sure what this would achieve

I'm more concerned with what it shouldn't achieve (changing the rules in an annoying and disruptive way).

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of saying something when an import fails only because of a missing init.py file.

I totally agree! I just doubted that approach would be appealing [to Guido] when the choice of adding warnings had already been made.
