I import only the functions I need from libraries that I don't own myself to minimize that effect.

Yes. But you still need to put the new functions in the right place in the module hierarchy. How do we do that?
For each module included in the bootlibs, would you have also Path.To.Module.Extra? That would be annoying. And it wouldn't even solve the problem: if you use Extra even once, you would go back to the same situation.
