I think introducing new language constructs for modules is good, because they are so fundamental.

For incrementally migrating old code bases, it would make a lot of sense to allow ES.next modules to import AMDs and vice versa.

I'm not sure if I understood this correctly, but trying to support backwards what was never a standard is probably not good idea, and AMD didn't get that much momentum to make exception for that, for many it's still controversial.

Furthermore, npm’s ability to install modules locally and to let local modules shadow global ones is a very smart way out of version hell. It would be nice to have something similar for ES.next modules, but it’ll be harder to do for browsers (as opposed to for Node.js and local file access)
It belongs rather to packages concept not modules (at least in that way it originated from CommonJS).
Currently I can't imagine any need for packages implementation in browsers. It's strictly just server-side and I assume it's fine to not have it standardized
