Guido does seem to have a dislike for relative imports,
but I don't really understand why. The usefulness of
being able to make a package self-contained and movable
to another place in the package hierarchy without hacking
it seems self-evident to me.

What's happening in Py3k? Will relative imports still
exist?
Using the dot notation, yes they will exist in Py3K.
