I'm not a big fan of aligned imports anyway, but I'm all for simpler diffs. Looks good to me! 👍

I'd like others @haskell-servant/maintainers to comment, as I plan to reformat everything, and try to remember to do that regularly in the future

Do we really want to stick so hard to stylish haskell? I won't fight it, but I'll never encourage it either =)

@alpmestan looking across servant codebase, the import styles vary a lot, what worse even inside single file. As a contributor I'm always confused "now I have to add new module import, where and how should I put it". From that POV uniform style will help.

I'm not the huge fan of the style proposed, but it's one of diff friendly ones.

Another variant is to separate explicit import lists and qualified imports into two groups:

import Data.Maybe
       (mapMaybe)
import Data.List
       (foldl')
import GHC.Generics
       (Generic)
-- not `as` isn’t indented
import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
import qualified Data.Text as T

or third:

import Data.Maybe
       (mapMaybe, fromJust, isNothing, catMaybe)
import Data.List (foldl')
import GHC.Generics (Generic)
import qualified Data.ByteString as BS
import qualified Data.Text as T

(third isn’t supported by stylish-haskell, but it’s an easy addition)

I'm in favor of a unified style, but don't much care for which, so I'm happy either way here.

I'm merging this. I'm so used to %!styli<tab> to reformat imports, and even this format is vertically verbose, it's somewhat diff-friendliest
