Understood it's a choice and to stay consistent with chosen. If the
first is recommended, why is second way possible? However it's now
possible that mixing two dependendies with different choices
conflicts. Both ways seems ok, this is my first xmpp test and long
time how to stay consistent using datetime import, strict conventions
welcomed so that dependencies shan't conflict and shall harmonize.
