Of the various guidelines in PEP 8, that's the one I probably break most
often in production code. Non-as imports of commonly used standard
library modules can create a lot of clutter if you follow it all the
time (especially for short module names like os, sys, time, re, etc).

The PEP guideline is still a good default rule though - it's just a
judgment call as to when the increased use of vertical screen real
estate from following it becomes excessive.

Cheers,
Nick.
