FWIW, I don't think this is a very strong reason not to add it.  Other
packages are also grab bags of features, and while perhaps not "ideal"
in an abstract sense, they also provide useful functionality.  In this
case it also makes sense to me to use a package as a way to experiment
with features before they hit core.

We can always delete the package later, once it has done its intended
job and is fully absorbed by Emacs.
