Yes, most definitely. The "simplified API importer" should only do explicit imports of the stuff that should go in there, so that their namespace is really simple and doesn't contain any surprises. In a best-case scenario, they would _only_ include the names that are documented in the "simplified API". And we should try to reach that best-case scenario, if we really want to stick to the tagline "the web framework for _perfectionists_ with deadlines" ;-) bye, Georg
