This is sensible because: java.lang.* is important for interop (classes like Object,String etc.) and is pretty much guaranteed to retain backwards compatibility for the foreseeable future. It's pretty much the JVM equivalent of the clojure.core namespace.
clojure.lang.* has a lot of classes / interfaces that should really be considered as implementation details. Hence we shouldn't encourage people to rely on them in regular Clojure code.
