I think at least for CUA-mode and semantic-mode they instead good
examples on that eval-after-load can be useful even within Emacs. If I
understand it right these checks if an old version of the modes have
been loaded before the one that is now bundled with Emacs. Can you see
a better way to do this? I can't.

Can't you just delete the entry in after-load-alist? Or do you want to
do it afterwards? I can see no way to do that in the general case.
