If this is how this feature is going to be implemented, I suggest to reword this NEWS entry to make the intent and the feature easier to understand: *** New command to start an inferior Emacs loading only specific packages. The new command 'package-isolate' will start a new Emacs process, as a sub-process of Emacs where you invoke the command, in a way that causes the new process to load only some of the installed packages. The command prompts for the packages to activate in this sub-process, and is intended for testing Emacs and/or the packages in a clean environment.
