I don't think people will care much about use vs. import perception-wise. But they will care a lot if it breaks their software. Just to name two popular products that will break (Johannes can for sure tell more, he googled for it): Serendipity & Zend Framework. At least breaking the latter should not be "your" preference, I hope. - Sebastian
