Ok so I'm hearing consensus about what you guys want to do, which is great. For future reference though, is the intent that second-level packages do import everything underneath? Currently there don't appear to be more than two levels, but will that always be true?

Yes, we don't want to stack anything more deeply than that. It really is just a means of ensuring that you can import a selected portion of scikit-image without waiting too long, or without loading unnecessary dependencies (e.g., importing the io module will also import gstreamer if available). Also, in the most severe case where one sub-module can't import, you can at least continue working with the rest. Stéfan
