I think Kyle is right.  My suggestion would be to put a mock
ange-ftp.el somewhere which beeps at the user and says "Use EFS by
requiring 'efs-auto (which loads fast and autoloads the rest) or 'efs
(which loads slow but loads it all)."  People that just blindly
require 'efs by grepping blindly through the lisp directory deserve to
be punished, IMHO.  [ Besides, I'd have to mess with file renaming in
CVS ... :-} ]

(Note that Joe User is not on the beta list where I guess the
transition to EFS implicitly suggested to replace (require 'ange-ftp)
by (require 'efs).  I don't think the average user will make the same
mistake if we document things right.)

Generally, I'd prefer to do what Ange says.

Cheers =8-} Mike
