That rule has never really applied to things that are part of the
interpreter itself though (how could it?).

My main question would be how it relates to the existing import
machinery emulation in pkgutil. If adding importlib lets us largely drop
that emulation (instead replacing it with invocations of importlib),
then that seems like a big win to me.

Cheers,
Nick.
