-1 on this proposal. We don't want to needlessly break code just because
they use a feature of the existing implementation, which has been around
for decades.
Moreover, if you use namespace packages, a module __init__.py does not
have to exist in the directory, so importing pkg.__init__ is a way
to test for such a case.

-0 on this, since it may break code. If done, Python should issue
a warning to flag the issue.
Third solution: leave things as they are and document it.
+1 on this one, since it's been like this for ages (going way back to
the Python 1.x days).
