Personally I'd rather be a bit frustrated but have tab completion and pyflakes warnings. I avoid using star imports even in hackish scripts. I assume the warning will create unnecessary confusion when people learn to use the star import first. These users will probably feel that the warning is a scikit-learn bug, or just completely ignore it (users don't read warnings), instead of changing their style.
