And lastly, sticking None in sys.pathimportercache would no longer mean "do the implicit thing" and instead would mean the same as NullImporter does now (which also means import can put None into sys.pathimportercache instead of NullImporter): no finder is available for an entry on sys.path when None is found.

Isn't it more explicit to cache the NullImporter instead of None?
