I find it confusing that we have to import now from django.utils.timezone, 
but timedelta from Python's internal datetime.
This btw. is a violation of the Law of Demeter 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Demeter>, hence I agree with Suayip's 
proposal.

There is a big difference between `now()` and `timedelta`, 
`django.utils.timezone.now` is defined in Django it is not the same as `
datetime.now`. Unlike, `timedelta` would be always Python's `datetime.
timedelta`. Following this proposition, we should reintroduce most of the 
standard Python libraries in the django.utils modules 🤯 TBH, we're trying 
to do the exact opposite and remove all aliases, e.g. 
https://github.com/django/django/commit/d6816bff73b37af05c968c009419c7c608e37307

I remember a discussion where a user tried to convince me that `
django.utils.timezone.datetime` is not the same as `datetime.datetime` and 
that Django is definitely adding some magic here and I have to use 
`datetime` from Django. This is of course not true.

Best,
Mariusz
