[Dave] As I recall, people were confused as to what the problem was here...
Probably because few people really understand how the current import
mechanisms work. Nevertheless, I don't see any objections to avoiding stupid
import scenarios. It would be helpful to list what exactly these "strange
import rules" are. Anyone have an objection to moving 4.3.17 back to a
requirement?
