I wouldn't say that cyclic dependencies are academic, in the sense of "not real". If they are allowed by the language, they will be used. I see them in Python code and I see them in Node modules. So unless you plan to disallow them altogether, it makes sense to provide good support, all other things being equal. It's an edge case for the module system, to be sure, but we should expect the module system to have reasonable coverage over the edge cases.
