The total length of package.el is 1642 lines. Of these, the code
necessary to load and activate packages at startup comes to around 590
lines, or about 16k of memory in the .elc. (The rest is the code for
downloading and installing, and for the package menu.)
Splitting package.el is certainly doable, but all it will save us is
around 30k. I'm not sure it's worth it.
