Thanks, but this is not what was being discussed, AFAIU.  What I said
I'd agree to is to have package-update accept a prefix argument and
heed package-install-upgrade-built-in (perhaps renamed), and only then
update built-in packages.

I also don't think I like the significant changes in package-update,
nor understand why they are needed.
