This last criterion I don't think I understand. I was under the impression that we are not supposed to limit admission of packages just because there are alternatives to what they do. For example, symbol-overlay seems to do what hi-lock-mode does. But my understanding was that this fact shouldn't preclude symbol-overlay from being admitted. Now you seem to be saying that we shouldn't add such packages? Bottom line: I'm still confused.
