I don't think we should start dismissing .elc compiled files just
because native compilation is on the horizon.  Some users might
legitimately decide they don't want their Lisp natively-compiled, or
may be unable to do so because of the GCC version they have
installed.  We should continue supporting byte-compilation features
for the next few versions at least.

I have an email from Craig in late August saying the disclaimer is
being submitted to legal.  Suggest to ping Craig about this.
