So unless package.el version 0.9 has problems > accessing GNU ELPA, I see no need to backport the current code. The problem is there are many versions claiming to be 0.9. The original one on tromey.com (which did not support multiple sources) probably has the best claim of being "the real 0.9". I think Chong's suggestion of releasing 24 with package.el 1.0 makes sense, and if we decide to backport a few changes for official 23-compatibility it could be 0.9.1 or something. -Phil
