    Why would GNU/Linux distributors stop using their own well-established
    mechanisms for publishing Emacs add-ons?

I don't know what they do now.  Would you like to tell me?

      If I search for package names
    containing "emacs" in the installer for a SuSE distro, for example, I
    get a handful of such SuSE-distributed RPMs.

That doesn't have much detail, so I cannot tell if I would consider it
a problem or what.
