It's for the benefit of people using foo.el in external packages, so that libraries don't just disappear from one Emacs release to the next. On a related note, if nnimap.el is supposed to replace imap.el (?), then I think it is problem that the former has so many (Gnus) dependencies. Loading imap.el loads 1 file. Loading nnimap.el loads 57.
