Subject: bug#63757: 29.0.91 order of package paths changed: random old versions of packages in load-path

fa8135f8916 * emacs-29 origin/emacs-29 Revert changes to the order in which
package descs are loaded
- (dolist (pkg-dir (directory-files dir t "\\`[^.]" t))
+ (dolist (pkg-dir (directory-files dir t "\\`[^.]"))
it doesn't fix the initial problem: `load-path` and `package-alist` are
still broken in my test.
Test:
To reproduce the case we need emacs 29.0.91 + fa8135f8916 fix and
~/.emacs.d/elpa/go-mode-20170726.555/...
~/.emacs.d/elpa/go-mode-20220114.2239/...
Run `emacs -Q` and `M-x package-initialize`. After that `package-alist` and
`load-path` contain the 2017 version as the first item in the list (instead
of 2022).
It can be fixed like this:
diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el
index ba0e3618f28..6eaf261f5f4 100644
--- a/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el
+++ b/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

(or
;; Prefer VC packages.

But if we leave it until 29.2, I will not insist :)
