Not necessarily the worlds most important objection but splitting up
slime.el may easily to a number of loading problems. Things are just
easier for the user with one file to load and one pair of .el/.elc
files to check for out-of-date-ness. I am scared that tracking CVS
directly becomes more difficult and/or less robust if there are
makefile or hand-written code and dependencies to track.

Splitting up slime.el should be done if the slime developers find it
hard to navigate the file and thus would feel it a useful thing to do,
IMHO.
