There is the phase in which the system's and/or the user's init file  
are searched and found. Then, in another phase, when any of these is  
found, it gets kind of executed. In this phase the load-path value is  
important for the ability to (find and) load ELisp files.

This element is "~/.emacs.d" and not a part of the default load-path  
value.

Why not? It's probably useless because you can't use a VM (virtual  
machine) that runs a useful OS, as there are people who use a lorry  
as their personal car. Or use their land-rover for a promenade on the  
highway. For me, on Mac OS X, a GNOME Tool Kit resource file would  
make some sense ...

Actually I use ~/.emacs.d to save desktop and session files, TRAMP  
seems to use it, backup files from editing are stored here, and more  
I don't understand.
