I don't think we should try to do too much here. We're aiming at exactly 
one possible packaging problem faced by the new users. You just 
installed Emacs, learned of a cool mode, try to require it and BAM. Then 
you get the message about adding package-initalize and that's it. 
Multiple criteria already described in this thread would prevent such 
warning to be shown to experienced users in 99% of cases and when it 
shows the user would immediately know that it's a real problem with his 
init and time to kill that session.

P. S. Maybe we should cobble something out of doctor-mode and disabled 
commands, give it an avatar of some office tool, call nanny-mode and 
enable by default. ;-)
