Thanks,
imho it'd be also useful to add there that Emacs will make the installed
packages available automatically at startup. Now it reads that Emacs will
add them to `load-path` but I wouldn't infer from this that Emacs will also
make these packages available. And right after that we say that "..

'load' or 'require' libraries that you want to make available at startup.
So reading in the very next paragraph: "[...] and also writes the necessary
