Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

importlib.invalidate_caches() would become a permanent thing if the directory 
listdir cache approach stays and importlib gets bootstrapped. But it would be 
made more general to work for any and all loaders and not be specific to 
importlib (e.g. 3rd-party importers would also get cleared). It's an 
unfortunate side-effect of mtime of directories not being granular enough.
