Hello Andy!
you're right.
I over-reacted in an attempt to make sure package-get-base is loaded
before it is used by any functions in package-get.el.
package-get.el hasn't been augmented in a long time (e.g. I submitted
a suggestion to make it fetch packages asynchronuously around the end
of March 98) and I don't think it's ready to ship.
It would probably be good enough to just
(require 'package-get-base)
at the beginning of package-get.el and get rid of the spreaded
(load "package-get-base.el")
altogether.
