Some packages belong in Emacs, others in ELPA. That's a practical question, depending on what the package does, how popular it is, and how it relates to other packages. In general, I think packages that are libraries for other packages should be in Emacs. But that is orthogonal to the questions we're discussing here. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
