I can see your point of view. It just seems a bit strange coming at
from the other direction -- if you can say 'import a.b as z' there
doesn't seem to be any good reason not to say 'import ..a.b as z'. I
can imagine people getting tripped up by this.

I guess you're right that it doesn't matter much either way.
