My reasoning was that if this doesn't have to be preloaded, it should
live in a package that's most likely to be loaded when they are needed
anyway. I think Tramp is the likely user; I find it much harder to
imagine the others using it, but whenever I use a remote file name,
Tramp is auto-loaded, so Tramp sounds like a good place.
I don't object to files-x.el, if you think that is better.
