I strongly disagree with this change, for two important reasons:

1. This is not a change only in a specialized mode and package, but in
a very important Emacs default.  The overwhelming majority of our
enthusiast user-base, and likely a large proportion of our user-base,
are using packages every day.  In fact, many users couldn't imagine
using Emacs without them.  It's a mistake if we treat this as some
sort of specialized concern.

2. This is one of the more significant changes in this release, and
deserves its place in the spotlight.  I personally put it up there
together with native-comp as one of the things that really stand out
in this release, and that I believe many will be excited and happy to
hear about.
