1. There is no need to do download and M-x package-install-file RET if
the publishing server has a `archive-contents' file.
Org's daily tars are already pushed to Orgmode.org and then later
pulled by GNU's ELPA servers.
So only thing needed is a public URL on Orgmode.org for package tars
and an archive-contents.
2. IMO, packages destined for Emacs are much more valuable than those
that lie in githubs and bitbuckets.
Why is there a hesitation to bundle org-export.el and org-e-*.el
(written by me and Ngz) in to it's own ELPA package or ship it along
with daily tars.
3. There is a `package-upload-file' from package-x.el that can upload
make-produced-tar and *also* update `archive-contents' with the new
version.
All of 1, 2 and 3 is available my ELPA makefile changes in
org-jambu.git.
It's clear what needs to be done. Despite that, IMSNHO, there is
hesitation and too much discussion.
