I know this has been your way, and it has been mine, so I know what you
are talking about.  I just don't think it is the best way for everyone,
probably not even for a majority.  I don't want people to be
disappointed, not everybody has enough time for this.  And even for the
others, it's a decision to be made after going the first steps (like
reading the Elisp intro).
