 @subsection Initialization File Semantics
 
-SBCL uses @code{load} to process its initialization files, which
-has the unfortunate effect of preventing users from changing the
-default startup @code{*package*}, and setting a default optimization
-policy.
-
-This is considered a bug and liable to change in the future.
+SBCL processes initialization files with @code{read} and @code{eval},
+not @code{load}; hence initialization files can be used to set startup
+@code{*package*} and @code{*readtable*}, and for proclaiming a global
+optimization policy.
