Recent discussions in matplotlib (matplotlib/matplotlib#1535) and also in Numpy have brought up the fact that DeprecationWarnings, while annoying users on Python 2.6, fall silent, sometimes dangerously, for users of newer Python versions that silence deprecation warnings by default.
We should consider how those projects dealt with this issue and probably do something similar.
