At one point, we had a style guide that recommended simple "import <module>" import statements for Zope code:
That page only mentions 'from whatever import *' which everyone will agree ought to be avoided. It doesn't say anything about 'from whatever import somename' (except that you shouldn't import somename if you're not going to use it).
Today, I'm noticing a lot of commits with the change note "Normalize imports" that change all imports to "from <module> import whatever", like this one:

Do we still have an agreed-upon style guide, or are we moving to a last-touched-by approach?
