[python-committers] do we still believe explicit relative imports are bad as PEP 8 claims?

[Brett Cannon]

It says they are "highly discouraged" because "absolute imports are
more portable and usually more readable", but now that people have had
a chance to use explicit relative imports, do people still believe
this? I mean if we truly believed this then why did we add the syntax?
I know I have used it and love it, let alone that I don't buy the
portability argument.
