Is this just during bootup?
I still see messages on startup like
```
Source file ‘/14/build/emacs/lisp/dired.el’ newer than byte-compiled file;
using older file
```
during startup.
```
(load "dired") shows a similar message.
Loading dired (compiled; note, source file is newer)...done
```

Indeed the script is not useful in this case. I ran into the
org-update problem just now and had to delete all the org elc files by
hand.
