For emphasis (and for the last time), I will pitch for micro-init
suggestion [1, 2].
----------------------------------------------------------------
Your objections seem to fall under
1. Not appropriate for all
- In the face for me etc.
2. Not widely usable
- Not now, may be in future
- buggy
- problematic under certain scenarios
These are in "conflict" with the popularity of the options.
----------------------------------------------------------------
My micro-init suggestion deals with the above problem by
1. Segmenting the users AND packages in to classes
2. Shifts the responsibility and blame to users themselves. Because
they asked for these packages to be enabled.

Bingo! 100% satisfied customers.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Here is how I see the above problems handled with micro-packages:
1. common.el
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
2. winnt-users.el
cua-mode
delete-selection-mode
linum-mode
3. programmers.el
which-function-mode
outline-minor-mode
4. lispers.el (depends on 3 above)
show-paren-mode
5. history-junkies.el
recentf-mode
savehist-mode
saveplace
desktop
----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Don't say Emacs users, segment them
