Yes. for convenience:
,----[ (info "(elisp)Coding Conventions") ]
| * Avoid using `eval-after-load' in libraries and packages (*note
| Hooks for Loading::). This feature is meant for personal
| customizations; using it in a Lisp program is unclean, because it
| modifies the behavior of another Lisp file in a way that's not
| visible in that file. This is an obstacle for debugging, much
