The focus on sysadmins sounds a bit gratuitous here. Furthermore I don't see why sysadmins would only use "main scripts" and not factor out their code. Besides, we don't want to add an option which would *discourage* factoring out code.
Another reason why this may be counter-productive: if you run your script through a stub, then the warnings disappear again.
If drawing the line at __main__ is a problem, is it possible to enable warnings for "everything that came from the first entry in sys.path"? Or, if it helps, disable warnings for a specific set of paths? That way, you could factor out code into a local module (imported from the main module's directory) and still have warnings, but not have them for the stuff that you consider to be library modules.
