Yes, but I think removing them will make more trouble than leaving them.

People who use the CVS sources should know what they are doing.  I don't 
think any of the developers had any problems with loaddefs.el during the 
entire pretest, right?  So, evidently, this problem is not too hard to 
solve.

If that's not good enough, we could arrange for automatic updates of 
loaddefs.el.  I think the same machinery that mails me every commit to 
the CVS tree can also update loaddefs.el.
