My initial reaction is "not so excited". Personally, I favor convention over configuration + it makes tooling more complicated. But my personal preferences aside: - Will this lead to further fragmentation in the community (some will like it / some will hate it)? - If the paths are too complicated for a library author to manage, maybe that is an indicator that the imports are too complicate to manage for a user of that library, too?
