I don't think so. For instance, if I have a package called "db" in my application (which I import with absolute imports from other packages), I might have problems with the newly added "db.sqlite" package in Python 2.5. In fact, I guess my "db" will shadow the stdlib one, making it impossible to access. An unique prefix for stdlib would solve this.
