This sounds like a contradiction. If we call package-initialize from
startup.el, why does it have to also be called from the init files?
And since you are opposed to Emacs putting tyhis call to init files,
why do you disagree that calling package-initialize in startup.el is
wrong? After all, that's where Emacs performs all the initialization
for the upcoming session, and that should include initializing the
packages which need initialization.

So having the call in startup.el is correct after all? Now I'm
utterly confused.
