  > Because package.el requires `seq', seq is loaded very early after starting Emacs

For libraries we expect many users to load, such as package.el, it
might be better to avoid depending on seq.el.

We no longer need to try to keep Emacs under Eight Megabytes,
but we may as well avoid things that cause it to grow
when they are easy to avoid.
