My idea (and interpretation of Greg's statement) is that a module/package should be able to live with either relative imports within itself, or fully absolute imports.

I think it goes further than that -- each module should (potentially) have its own unique view of the module namespace, defined at the time the module is installed, that can't be disturbed by anything that any other module does.
