My major concern is that third party packages which use existing
functions in package.el, whose calling conventions are changed by this
patch, would experience incompatibilities. This is not a show stopper
for the post-24.3 development tree, since we will have lots of time to
find out what compatibility problems exist and adapt accordingly. But I
don't think it's suitable for 24.3; I don't want 24.3's freeze to drag
on for too long.

Any such bugs would be orthogonal to the defstruct cleanup, and should
be reported and addressed separately.
