I am +10e6 on disambiguating imports.
I am +0 on "scan".
I am +0.01 on "explicit relative".
I can live with any syntax Guido can, so I'm just voting on
functionality.
The use cases for "ambiguous" imports amount to:
1) I use this cool package, but I'm too lazy to keep up with
new releases or document the release required & ensure
that it's available & further I'm so arrogant that I don't care
that my users might run into problems having 2 copies of
the code or that the package developer might be offended
by my end run.
2) I structured my package wrong, and now I want to fix
it with the mouse.
I'm not sure I go as far as Tim, but I think perhaps the PSU
should have a regulation about writing import hooks without
a license.
