Brett Cannon added the comment:

While saying "default path importer" vs. "meta path finder" somewhat muddles 
the term "importer", it definitely gets the point across that PathFinder does a 
lot more than any other default meta path finder. While _we_ might know that 
import does nothing more than call a method on sys.meta_path and has no concept 
of sys.path and friends, most people will consider the default path importer as 
part of import's semantics and thus not make the distinction.

IOW I like Nick's suggestion.
