I like the idea of stripping big bundled packages (like org, gnus, cedet, maybe even tramp, if that's possible). > - distribution tarballs could be made from trunk+elpa. > > Since I dont do releases for Emacs I dont get to have an opinion on the > matter, but if pressed, I would say this idea has considerable merit. If distribution tarballs include code from elpa, then I imagine code freeze rules would also apply to elpa branch. So I don't see how this would be an improvement.
