I think the import order should be alphabetical or lexicographical, and no
blank lines are needed.

The reason is this:

1) It's simple and future proof, and there will be no need to have this
discussion again in the future about what order it should be and where the
blank lines should be placed
2) It's easy to follow, and there is no rule to remember other than it's
alphabetical
3) It's easy to find where a particular import lines are because it's
alphabetical

Whatever we come up with, we should make the change ASAP and fix all the
style violations once and for all.
