Please elaborate.
I explained that in the first message. When packages are maintained
in places outside of the Emacs repository, often the changes do not
get installed in the Emacs repository.
We had a problem like this in regard to flyspell which I had to clear
up myself just recently. I had to spend hours on it. We know of
similar problem in regard to cperl-mode. There was a problem of this
kind with Gnus for a long time.
There are probably other such problems that we do not know about.
It is not easy to find out about them without sending mail to a lot
of people, which would be a lot of work.
I am going to look for measures to discourage the practice of
releasing parts of Emacs separately.
