That is, the requirement of another package, e.g. `foo.el', would be akin to (require 'foo nil t), as opposed to just (require 'foo). This would enable a package to advertise, for `package.el' and ELPA repositories, that some of its features require another package, but that that package is not strictly necessary (e.g., some of the requiring package features are available without the soft-required package). It might also encourage modularity and discourage adding extra stuff to a given package (even duplicating some code from another package, for instance).
