I understand 2600 lines is not the largest .el file we have (hell, it's not even top 10), but it's enough to bother me a lot. I'd like to know whether it's ok to split it into two files, package.el and package-menu.el? The distinction is very logic, there's a ton of stuff that goes on in package.el which doesn't make any use of the package-menu. The only downside of this refactoring would be to mess up things like `git-blame`, and that's why I'm askinghere. Is that a reason not to do it? Cheers Artur
