I consider that for such purposes `M-: (package-initialize) RET` (or the
same done from IELM) is quite sufficient.
"Use it interactively" here is meant for "normal users", not for someone
hacking on package.el.

Actually, it has 2 purposes. Activating the packages is only one of
the two: in order to speed up startup by caching the autoloads like
I do in my package-fastpath patch, we will need to separate those
two purposes.
