I am only saying that this is what seems to happen at the moment, and
I have no problem with it.

The user already has a way to prioritize, by removing or adding
elements of auto-mode-alist as they see fit, in their .emacs or
equivalent. When this is run, emacs has already initialised
auto-mode-alist from autoloads, so they will not disturb the user's
settings.

I may have missed the point, but as far as I can see, everything you
want to do can be achieved with the current system, and decentralising
the initialisation of auto-mode-alist would not change that: I have no
problems with my auto-mode-alist from modes whose settings are not
centralised.
