Sorry for first committing.
I think we should always list all imports - the readability limit is in most cases more or less useless. If you import from a lot of packages it doesn't help anyway (now we could argue if importing from a dozen packages is a good thing, but thats a different story). And if you want to see what a class is exactly using, a complete list of all imports is much more helpful. Modern ides can hide all imports in the editor anyway.
