Are we mis-communicating?  If somefile.el needs a function that is in
subr-x.el, all it has to do is (require subr-x).  How's that a
problem?

When/if seq.el will become used so much that it will almost always
immediately load at the beginning of a session, we will indeed add it
to preloaded ones.  But as long as that doesn't happen, why should we
punish those users who have no use for seq?
