Elisp packages may be loaded because the user specifically wants it to be
loaded, but they can also be loaded for all kinds of other
unrelated reasons. So as a matter of principle the user-visible behavior of
Emacs should be mostly unchanged by (load <foo>).
This often means that minor modes should default to being disabled.
Not always, tho: E.g. foo-aux-mode could default to being enabled without
any harm if it only ever affects buffers in foo-mode and foo-mode can't
exist without foo-aux-mode also existing (e.g. because they're defined in the
same file of because foo.el requires `foo-aux').
