That's fine with me, I have nothing against leaving some packages in
emacs.git if their maintainers so wish.  I was replying to a single
aspect of this discussion: the expectation that packages which will be
moved to ELPA will necessarily and inevitably suffer in terms of QA
and the developers' attention they receive.  I'm saying that AFAIU
this is not supposed to happen, for the reasons I presented.
