No, they can't. Emacs is supposed to be a coherent program whose features normally work if you install Emacs. That won't be the case if features of Emacs depend on packages in NonGNU ELPA, which are not part of Emacs. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
