Stefan's patch to improve package loading (was Loading a package applies automatically to future sessions?)

[George Plymale II]

Hi again,

Does anyone mind if I start a new thread with a new subject line? I
would like to continue discussion of Stefan's patch and improving the
loading of packages in Emacs on this list, but since the thread entitled
"Loading a package applies automatically to future sessions?" diverged
into copyright debates, I thought perhaps we should make a new thread
that specifically discusses Stefan's patches mentioned previously. It
should make things more organized and more easily searchable. Is anyone
opposed to this?
