Alternatively, if you think the criteria for what should and shouldn't
be preloaded should change, let's see if we can come up with some
reasonable modified criteria that will not let us slip that slope.
What I'd like to avoid is preloading something without having a clear
idea why, because then we won't be able to explain why we preload
foo.el, but not bar.el or baz.el.
