However, it could become an issue for us if we want to import those packages into Emacs or GNU ELPA. We can't import something into GNU ELPA if it depends on something outside of that. So at the time of importing it we would have to fix up those names one way or another. It depends partly on whether some of those s.el names are a good idea, and on which ones a given package uses. Anyway, we can cope. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
