What you are think about turning deprecation warnings on by default in the interactive interpreter?

In its favour: Exposing problems early, when they can easily be fixed, is good.

To its detriment: Making the interactive interpreter behave differently by default from the non-interactive interpreter should be resisted; code which behaves a certain way by default in one should behave the same way in the other, without extremely compelling justification.

I'm willing to hear more argument for and against.
