I didn't like that octave-forge loaded ALL functions after an installation either. I do however not mind that all packages are loaded by default because I only install the packages I use. This logic does however fail in multiuser environments where global packages will be loaded for all users. So, perhaps we should autoload local packages and not global packages?I don't think it is a good idea to load all packages by default. That Octave Forge was typically packaged and distributed this way is something that I've never really liked, and was the reason I wanted to have a package system that would make it easy to install add-ons in smaller chunks.
