"Common" doesn't imply "correct" or "supported".  There are plenty of other 
packages/modules who don't import their subpackages/submodules during 
initialization.  Unless explicitly supported by the module, using a submodule 
without explicitly importing it is relying on undefined behavior.

I stand by my statement.
