I'm just a lowly user so I don't know how much my opinion counts but
like most lowly users I'll provide it anyway :)

At work I did an informal survey of emacs users (we have quite a few)
and only one person other than myself had even heard of tramp. He
heard about it from me. If other sites are anything like mine then I'd
say that the few people that will use tramp at all won't mind having
"(require 'tramp)" in their .emacs file and will already know they
have to do so.

So why not just skip auto-loading?
