Not quite. If a file inside emacs has no version number it is not considered a package at all. So a user of emacs 25 will be able to use pl just fine, but package.el will not see it and therfore will gladly shadow it with pl installed from *elpa.

This is only relevant if pl is actually on one of the elpas.
