Note that packages in core Emacs or in GNU ELPA
should not depend on anything in NonGNU ELPA.
If llm is meant for other packages to use,
it should be in GNU ELPA, not NonGNU ELPA.

Why did you plan to put it in NonGNU ELPA?

I don't follow the logic here.  It looks like the llm package is
intended to be generic, so it would be used by other packages to
implementr support for specific models.  If llm package is on GNU ELPA,
it can be used from packages no matter how those packages are distributed.

But if the llm package is in NonGNU ELPA, it can only be used from packages
in NonGNU ELPA.

Have I misunderstood the intended design?
