The same way we have user-init-file, I too would welcome Emacs to offer
a default user-load-path that's known to be e.g. ~/.emacs.d/load.d.
That would allow third party elisp code to just drop a file in there and
have users all set to use a new facility.
For example, I would use that for el-get and bootstrapping it into the
user's setup would become easier, and would allo to avoid having to edit
user-init-file.
