It's a general recommendation for any package:

for packages that aren't part of the regular XEmacs packages distro.
Yeah, but I don't understand why we try to load the same package
autoloads twice. People do this all the time (in particular, people
who have a distro-based SUMO installation and want to have an
up-to-date version of a particular package), and we really should
support that and not whine about it. (Of course an explicit request
for shadows such as report-xemacs-bug should list them.)
I guess xemacs-packages hierarchies shadow each other, but
site-packages doesn't shadow xemacs-packages?
A different question: I wonder if it would be possible (ie, with a
reasonable amount of coding effort) and worthwhile to report
whole-package shadows instead of zillions of library shadows for each
shadowed package?
