- You have group of related elisp files in a common place on the web.
- You download one of them, but it turns out that it does `require' or
autoload that supposes you have downloaded the other files too.
I understand that is the case you're talking about.
It is wrong to cut the user out of the process of deciding what
software to install.
In a situation like that it is possible to set up for autoloading
things by downloading them from the web without compromising security
This issue is not about security in the usual sense.
It is about preserving the user's control of his computing.
This is a fundamental goal for the GNU Project
Please see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html. That
issue is not related to Emacs, but it is basically the same issue.
