So, what is the attitude of people here? Here's my take:
I wonder if we are going about this process the right way. We will forever be adjusting imports to improve load times. Why don't we provide an alternate API, something like numpy.api from which you can import exactly what you want? We can disable populating the full numpy namespace by exporting an environment variable or setting some flag. This way, importing numpy is instantaneous, whilst our interactive users still get the full benefit of having everything available?
