That has never been a problem.  There's any number of ways to ensure
that, whether from Emacs or outside it.

But it caused trouble in other situations, and is very hard to support
portably.  Any code that removes a .eln file that is being used by the
very Emacs session which removes it is building on non-portable
assumptions.

So I very much want to remove this part from Emacs.
