As the comment says, it's necessary for backwards compatibility, and I wasn't particularly happy about having to do it. 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. So I had to make loading the package activate it, for "historical reasons".
