I agree on this, just started to replace some :use by refer all and I have to maintain the convention to place these at the end of the :require list otherwise they get obfuscated if they end up in the middle. There are only one or two per name space and we can have six to a dozen required name spaces with aliases in our name spaces.
:use is much more obvious. we usually place them after the :require section and they can not be missed by a reader. I can live with this but not really convinced that it improves readability. Still debatable.
