As far as require() statements are concerned, maybe the most important
(general purpose and TeX related) modules could be laoded by the
format file.  I suppose that a significant number of packages don't
have to be touched then.

Modules like LuaSocket are quite special and thus better loaded by
packages which need them.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
