I see no risk that the packages will suddenly go away. Under what
circumstances would that happen?
In some cases, we will delete packages from NonGNU ELPA, of course.
This is true for GNU ELPA also, and for Emacs itself. But I don't see
why we need to get into all that in this section, where we are just
letting people know that GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA exist.
