What about what I proposed, i.e. not byte-compiling those files, and in general paying no attention to them? It would take quite a long time for that to have an effect on the size of Emacs. And it wouldn't require any maintenance; we could have a folder acting as a dumping ground for Lisp that would otherwise be deleted. > Emacs has a package system.

What about an ELPA package, playing the same role as the dumping ground folder? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this, thanks.
