Indeed, we could: we could process all the autoloads from GNU ELPA
packages, and "neuter" them so that instead of being really active they
just end up advertising the existence of the package. Doing it for
arbitrary autoloads is probably impossible, but we could start by
handling a few important cases (such as command definitions and
auto-mode-alist additions).
If someone wants to take on this challenge...
