For interactive use, the principle ends up being "Code you write gives deprecation warnings, code you import doesn't" (which is the main aspect I care about, since it's the one that semi-regularly trips me up when I forget that DeprecationWarning is off by default). Beyond that, it encourages folks distributing applications for others to use to keep __main__ simple and import most of their functionality from other libraries, which I also consider a desirable outcome.
