That would be cool.  That would make “canonical” extensions more akin to 
users’ one, and would reduce the gap between user hacking and standard 
development (akin to the “absence of keywords” of lisp, and to the fact 
users’ extensions can look like core features), encourage hacking, and 
equality of emacs’ hackers.

Plus I like the idea you can install libraries separatly from the end 
software, before or after, and remove them at wish.
