I think this goes back to the days when it was important for Emacs to
fit in a machine with 1 meg of memory space, not virtualized.
Rmail consisted of several Lisp files, each with its own autoloads,
and none of those autoloads was needed until rmail.el had been loaded.
rmail-loaddefs.el enabled who did not use Rmail to avoid sacrificing
space for those autoloads.
This is completely unnecessary nowadays.
