These are issues to be fixed in the way ELPA integrates with our development
process. I recognize today's ELPA may have these drawbacks, but I believe they
can be fixed.

We're moving toward a future where Emacs.git will represent "core Emacs", and
only contain what core needs (plus a few historical bits, I'm sure). There
should be no argument for keeping a project in core just to gain auxiliary
benefits.
