I think FESCo needs to decide what its policies are wrt on-demand
loading, then we can adjust the Packaging Guidelines appropriately.
I'm pretty sure that we kicked this up to FESCo and they decided to treat
them the same (although the latter may not have come to a formal vote and
only been discussed during their IRC meetings on the overall subject.) Going
back to the quote in this message, though, that was a result of discussions
with Lennart rather than FESCo.
