Re: Async rebuild package-quickstart after packages update? was Re: 28.0.50; Proposal: slightly more efficient package-quickstart.el

Here is a simple patch that rebuilds package-quickstart-file in a
separate emacs process:

git diff
diff --git a/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el b/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el
index 37dcbe36c8..d525cf4db9 100644
