I think that #:select has it's purpose. It helps increase readability when
one or two things are selected for example in bootstrap.scm.

#:use-module ((guix store) #:select (add-to-store add-text-to-store))
#:use-module ((guix derivations) #:select (derivation))
#:use-module ((guix utils) #:select (gnu-triplet->nix-system))

However when it comes to licenses it's verbose and unnecessary. I'll
amend the commit tomorrow to cover all cases where #:select is used
for importing licenses.
