Sounds good (IIUC).  So you are talking not about users having to use
package.el but just the Emacs build using package.el.

I am no doubt a minority of one, but I do not want to have to use
package.el at all, especially just to be able to use vanilla Emacs
(standard distribution).

How does your answer here fit with your answer for #2?  I would like
to find everything under .../lisp/ still, with a simple subdir structure.

But again, I'm no doubt a minority of one.  Just saying what I prefer.
