Couldn't static imports be made lazy without breaking any code?

One simple idea is to make all imports lazy - no change in semantics.

Sure, why not. Except that upon reaching the first non-fully-qualified symbol you'd have to load them all because they could all contain a symbol with that name. So in practice it'd change nothing, except for static imports.

Beside that, loading modules eagerly is more parallelizable.
