Actually, using @import has another side effect too: When saving the page, not all CSS is saved (depends on browser, of course). Using link makes sure that all CSS is going to be saved.
So unless a robust technical reason is given, I'm in support of getting rid of @imports (only because they're supported and classy, doesn't mean they should be used).
It's to keep Netscape 4 from loading the CSS2 stylesheets, freaking out, and becoming completely unusable because it thinks it knows CSS2 but was so woefully bad at it that it just messes everything up.
In these days where Netscape 4 is pretty much dead, we might consider dropping that -- at least if there actually *is* a measurable improvement to doing so.
