I keep coming back to this also, for the "import" statement.
Consider this scenario/timeline:

- module A defines a cool feature
- modules B and C import A to use that feature
- module A gets rev'd to add a new leaf to a grouping
- module B wants the new leaf
- module C doesn't want it

Without revision-specific imports, this scenario is unworkable.

With revisions, module B would get rev'd to import the new revision
of A.  Module C would continue to import the previous revision.

Thanks,
 Phil
