So what I propose to do is stop having import have any kind of implicit machinery. This means sys.metapath gets a path finder that does the heavy lifting for import and sys.pathhooks gets a hook which provides a default finder.

+1 to your proposal. And thanks for all of your work on importlib - it makes me very happy to see the ideas Just and I thrashed out in PEP 302 come together fully at last.
