Well if we'd never had this feature this argument would be very strong indeed. On the other hand if we want them to switch to Python 3 - but by the way we cut one of the features you rely on, but don't worry all you have to do is recode it yourself - doesn't make a very convincing argument.

I understand it. On the other hand, it is certainly one of the least important issues involved in porting to py3k. (even for those people who liked the feature)

And I think the prospect of a slight simplification (or de-complexification) of the import machinery is an important selling point.

Antoine.
