I find what Red Hat did was better:

Just make your site-start.el contain something like:

;; load ".el" files in "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/" on startup
(mapc 'load
      (directory-files "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d" t "\\.el\\'"))


That's the only change you ever need to make to site-start.el.
For everything else, add and delete to site-start.d.
Emacs does not need to change for this to work.
