Possibly...  but "being natively compiled" isn't a binary thing, though:
I mean, you could have --with-nativecomp, but still be using .elc files
instead of .eln files.  Or a mixture, which I think would be normal for
many years.

But I guess that's a detail that wouldn't be that important for most
people.  I mean, most people are using distributed versions of Emacs,
and presumably if it has support for native compilation, then the vast
majority of the Lisp file will also be natively compiled.
