I noticed that with current CVS, the "Loading FOO..." messages are not
shown in the echo area, when packages are autoloaded.  For example,
visiting a file with a colon in its name loads Tramp (as expected),
but does not display the "Loading tramp..." message.

Is this a bug or a feature?  If the latter, why was it introduced, and
why isn't it mentioned in NEWS?
