Unconvinced of what, if I may ask?
And what has now been decided (if anything)? Will there be an option to
keep package.el from writing `package-selected-packages' to
`custom-set-variables'? And what will happen if I set this option? Do I
*have* to setq `package-selected-packages' or can I also leave it nil?
Should I expect any adverse effects if I do that (other than the fact
that packages won't be installed automatically, of course). Since I use
use-package anyway, I'd prefer it if I could just leave
`package-selected-packages' unset.
