I'm massively unenthusiastic about this future. Things in ELPA has to be backwards-and-forwards compatible with a wide Emacs version range, which makes maintaining things much more work. When you develop things in "Emacs core", you have one specific target and can make large internal changes without these considerations. Emacs doesn't seem to have a massive surfeit of developers, so I wonder where this plan comes from. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
