Via `use-package.' There's no way around that if you want

Hmmm. I appreciate being able to choose multiple versions and the
performance gain by not searching all the packages.
Isn't Emacs starting up with a bunch of autoloads something we are
pretty used to?
Can one share package directories across machines and architectures
(cf. etc/)
