XEmacs has had an option to have no site-lisp for more than 10 years,
and it's become default several years ago.

The preferred alternative is to put your code in
.../site-packages/my-stuff/library.el, decorate entry points with
autoload cookies, add a simple Makefile and package-info.in (mostly
complete skeletons provided for easy cases), and run make; make
bindist.

Social engineering-wise, we didn't find it so.  That's why we changed
the name when we changed the interface.
