It regularly leads to difficulties getting the latest code into Emacs, and even to unintended forks. To think of this as a way to serve Emacs users is taking a short-term view. I would rather see more Lisp package maintainers keep their master sources inside the Emacs repository, so as to reduce the potential for these problems.
