We did that, and we so regret it. After 5 years of intensive dev on that 
application (with more than 10 different guys committing in the repos) 
this module is now nothing but a real mess.
As soon as someone is writing twice the same import: "Oh I should put 
this module into the auto import, it will save 4 sec of my time".

This module is now an inconsistent bunch of imports and global 
assignements  :( .
