I guess that depends heavily on what your mental model of imports is. 
For me, it always was the other way round – I was surprised that the 
fully qualified names were also in scope for selective imports, and 
considered it bad style to use them.

If you are going to use the fully qualified names anyway there is no 
benefit to selective imports. Just use a static import instead.
