Two remarks

    1. Why can't latex-mode not be removed/substituted by auctex?

    2. What's about reftex? Right now, since auctex provides a mayor
       mode, you can put it in a hook to startup reftex when you open a
       latex file with auctex installed. Would that be a problem, if
       auctex is no longer a «real» mayor mode?
