That would be a change in behavior, of course. Currently, you can put a file on disk and import it immediately; that will stop working. I'm pretty sure that there are a number of applications that rely on this specific detail of the current implementation (and not only IDEs). It still might be worthwhile to make such a change, but I'd like to see practical advantages demonstrated first.
