What I mean is that you can also add compiler dependant packages in
`org-latex-packages-alist'. No need to change the default package list.

Babel is no small package. I think it would be a bit invasive as
a default package. However, it is a good candidate for user-defined
packages, i.e., `org-latex-packages-alist'.

See above about the default. However, please feel free to suggest
documentation improvements, however.
