I fully agree with Kevin: the current behavior of `load' should not be changed. I do work on developing CVS Emacs, but still I find the current behavior much more useful than the suggested one. For example, it allows me to do a "cvs up" on selected files without worrying about possible inconsistencies that might introduce (because some changes in *.el files require related changes in other files in order for them to work correctly).
