If you're asking for a quick pronouncement, it's going to be "no". It's not worth the change (in docs, user habits, etc.) and there's nothing particularly broken.
It might be worth instead adding an option flag to the executable that implies
"from the loaded module, run main() with sys.argv as its argument(s)", so
the user can get this behaviour with python -X somemodule.py.
