Are they really?  I'd expect to see more imports from the Zope 3 code
for use from white-box tests, which would increase the number of
imports for those names.  The only way to see if it matters would be
to run the analysis both ways and seeing what the difference would be.

There's one more:

  11 unittest.TextTestRunner
