OK, but two weeks before the soft freeze is IMHO not a good time for
this kind of experiment.  We just went through literally months of
debugging to get native compilation mostly working in emacs and hundreds
of associated packages. I suspect your proposed change will yield a
whole bunch of new bugs from people who don't install recommends, and
then don't understand what is broken.

With that said, I'm not the emacs maintainer, so I will bow out of the
discussion.
