It is deliberate. Numarray introduced it (the only difference being that by default NumPy has division-by-zero erros turned off). It's tied to the way floating-point division-by zero is handled. There is a valid argument for having a separate integer-division flag so that you can raise exceptions for integer-division but not for floating-point division.
