Backwards compatibility is not sufficient reason for this. Loading appt.el used to activate the appointment package (in a convoluted way, I think; can't remember the details now). When I changed it so it did not, I had an email from someone saying he had missed a bunch of appointments. He will just have to change his init file. Please take this out now.
