What does this mean in terms of the run-time requirements in order to get the doc strings for preloaded files? Does it mean their *.elc files should be available from the installation tree? Or does it mean the *.el files (which might be compressed) must be available? And what does this mean for a natively-compiled installation? If there are any non-trivial consequences of this change, i.e. distros will now need to make sure something happens that they didn't before, I think we should get their opinions before we install this. Thanks.
