So, just _when_ would you use it?

You just said above that making the distinction only makes sense for
packages maintained externally.

I don't see that. I am afraid of people putting (boundp 'emacs) into
code also for things that Emacs happens to have _now_, even though
XEmacs might gain them in a later synch, or just putting (boundp
'emacs) habitually in without thinking anything about it.
I really think that this is one change that we are better off without.
