I think I'm not a big fan of your proposal because the only problem I see with 
the status quo is that a call to package-initialize in the init file is 
required at all.  Given this, I don't see a change to the status quo that still 
requires a call to package-initialize in init.el as an improvement.

I think your proposal is well-designed and reasonable, and I think you made a 
good case for it, but it solves a problem that I don't see as a problem, and it 
doesn't solve the part that I'm bothered about.

I hope this makes sense!
Clément.
