This is obviously coming down to difference of opinion. I don't view switching warnings off by default as shooting anyone in the foot. I put it on the same level as making sure you have unit tests; it's just part of your testing and verification process that your users just don't need to know about.
Nice summary. FWIW, I concur with Brett. No one needs to see warnings/deprecations except for the developer who controls the code. Even that developer may only need to see it at one point during the development process. Further, the developer controlling the code just may not care -- the script can be for single use, for a class project, or some other purpose that doesn't require being notified of what may change in a later version of Python.
