Oh, God, not this debate again.

Look, there are two camps here, and I'm in the * camp and you're in
the explicit-import camp.  There's no need to structure things so that
one camp is going to be angry, even if you don't agree with their
reasons for being angry.  Organizing classes by maximal cohesion
should satisfy everyone.

(If you like, I'd be happy to debate with you *off-list* and show you
the error of your anal ways :-))
