Are there clear-cut guidelines somewhere on when to use import and when to use lazy_import? If it was always better to use lazy_import then I would have thought that that all of the all.py files would have been changed so that they use lazy_import.
Is there a reason why lazy_import is used so rarely? Two obvious answers are that either there is some cost to using it, or that no one has been motivated enough to change all of the import statements to lazy_imports. I initially thought that lazy_import could be used to stop the patchbot from complaining about plugins.startup_modules failures, but this seems not to be the case...
