Assuming we have the ability to include GNU ELPA packages in the
tarball, the choice between keeping a package in core or in GNU ELPA
boils down to maintenance/administration.

From that point of view, if the package is mainly developed&maintained
by core Emacs developers it makes sense for it to live in core, but if
it's mostly developed by people who do it elsewhere (e.g. Org or
Idlwave) it should rather live in GNU ELPA to avoid the pain
of synchronization.
