I did always think it odd that your proposed change wasn't how it
worked to begin with.
That said, this change would seem to be an issue for anyone who is
performing a partial initialisation in their init file (for specific
packages), and then depending on the default initialisation to deal
with the remainder, post-init.
I can only imagine that's a very small proportion of users indeed,
but I presume the scenario ought to be considered (even if only for
the purposes of documenting it in NEWS).
