As the comment says, it's necessary for backwards compatibility, and I
wasn't particularly happy about having to do it.
Backwards compatibility is not sufficient reason for this.
Loading appt.el used to activate the appointment package (in a
convoluted way, I think; can't remember the details now). When I
changed it so it did not, I had an email from someone saying he had
missed a bunch of appointments.
He will just have to change his init file. Please take this out now.
