Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

What Benjamin said. PEP 328 should have done away with relative imports, but 
somehow the __import__() function itself was not updated even though its docs 
were changed to say that index defaulted to 0.

So this isn't actually a regressions because of importlib but actually just the 
implicit fixing of a bug. I was going to make sure to mention it in the "What's 
New" entry, but I will also add something to Misc/NEWS.
