The second one cannot happen, AFAIU: Emacs will not load an outdated
.eln file. That's why Emacs insists on having access to the .el
source file when it is about to load a .eln file.
As for the first one, I'm not sure if a warning is necessary. For
starters, it will be a very rare one, since when we compile to produce
an updated .eln file, we also produce an updated .elc file. And
emitting a warning in that case might confuse users, making them think
Emacs loaded the .elc file (otherwise why should Emacs bother about
its being outdated?).
So, on balance, I think the answer is NO to both.
Andrea, WDYT?
