The issue is implementing a PEP with nice support for relative

Isn't this mostly historical? Until the new relative-import syntax was
implemented there were various problems with relative imports. The
short-term solution was to recommend not using them. The long-term
solution was to implement an unambiguous syntax. Now it is time to
withdraw the anti-recommendation. Of course, without going overboard
-- I still find them an acquired taste; but they have their place.

Darren, if you have not yet done so, open a tracker that quotes the above and gives your recommended changes at which locations.
