+1 I would have asked the very same in the next active contributor meetup.

Most classes only use very few other classes. IMHO, a large number of use 
statements shows a design flaw in the following code. The class is concerned 
with too much.

I would also prefer the nice summery of class usage that is generated with 
the use statements. It would be far more consistent than the current 
sometimes and sometimes not.
