If the goal is community adoption, I think this is probably the best
option. It’s too late to reopen the discussion of import x from "x"
changing to have syntax that better supports multiple export, and I really
dislike the implications of dropping module from at this point in the
process.

I’d prefer *evangelizing* more than *educating*. I’d like to see more
direct attempts to engage with the proponents of CommonJS and AMD to see
where their comfort level is now. Some of them have prematurely written off
ES6 modules (IMO), but the larger community (particularly around Node /
browserify) just doesn’t understand the feature, and therefore can’t give
meaningful feedback for or against it – or what should change – yet.
