The PEP has the following timeline (my interpretation):

2.4: implement new behavior with from future import absolute_import 2.5: deprecate old-style relative import unless future statement present 2.6: disable old-style relative import, future statement no longer necessary

Since it wasn't implemented in 2.4, I think all these should be bumped by one release. Aahz, since you own the PEP, can you do that (and make any other updates that might result)?
