Re: Summary and next steps for (package-initialize)

[Nikolay Kudryavtsev <nikolay.kudryavtsev@gmail.com>]

The problem with second init is that we're introducing a major user 
configuration change to fix some shortcoming in Emacs internals. The 
moment the feature lookup API I proposed in the other letter gets pushed 
to master we can cut out those warnings(or writing in init for that 
matter). And with the current state of packaging I think such API is 
almost inevitable. But with second init, people would still be stuck 
with those files, even when raison d'etre for them disappears. And 20 
years down the line you may need to explain to people "Oh, no, you don't 
need config.el, you needed it like 15 years ago, but not anymore".
