Every such package causes difficulty for Emacs releases. If the part is maintained in a separate repository it is possible to check code into Emacs' repository when it is in releasable state, e.g. when a separate release of the part is being made. Then one can go on developing in the separate repository without endangering Emacs' state as a whole. Thus, in Emacs there there would be releasable code of the package at any time. With such a policy I would not expect the difficulty you mentioned to appear. -- Ralf
