As long as no unneeded code is imported as a result, that's cool.  I 
like it a lot.  I just know from a project I worked on that M$ has an 
import that looks innocuous, however it imported a large chunk of it's 
standard library in one shot.  Needless to say, it made analyzing the 
software much more difficult and I believe it made the resulting files 
bigger as a result.

I can't recall any more than that as it's been a few years.
