As I understand it, Emacs and XEmacs both agree that changes to the
overall system state are undesirable when you load a single package.
While an exemption is clearly made in the case of Ange-FTP, I don't
think that loading another remote access tool to work around our...
issues with it is right.

It's really not very different, to be frank. The hacks to work around it
are pretty much identical.
