Better in which sense? Do you mean, better for you in maintaining the package? Having the package in the core makes it possible to maintain it in sync with Emacs releases. Having it in GNU ELPA makes it possible to release improvements in the package that work for old Emacs releases. I think that either one can be valuable in some cases. -- 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)
