I'm fine with this solution too (magnums or rackets), but I wouldn't mind
hearing the opinion of people who will be forced to do that.

IIUC, There's another situation where this will come up. If a mass package
upgrade fails for some reason, there will be lots of old package
directories hanging around in the elpa subdir.
So we can't just blindly load all those directories, we'll need to actually
parse the packages contained in all of them, version sort them into
something like package-alist, and load only the appropriate ones.
