That is a very useful practice -- we should always consider some of
these questions for every package. Their answers show what kinds of
advantages and disadvantages incorporating the package could lead to.
In some cases, the answer is obvious. If there is a popular
programming language called Bump and someone offers to contribute a
major mode for Bump code, we know what sort of good that can do.
But when it isn't obvious, it is good to raise the question.
