None. .el is the file maintained by Old GNUS (v4.x and previous).
The very first time Gnus 5.x is run, it's supposed to snoop around for
.el and use it as a base from which to work, but is ignored
thereafter, once Gnus 5.x starts maintaining .eld.
(I don't recall quite precisely, but one [probably failing] memory
cell is demanding to be heard, that "eld" is the ".EL for Ding" file.)
