Well... I think eww is unlikely to work very well as an ELPA package
since it's written for the Emacs trunk in mind. I doubt it would even
work on Emacs 24.4 due to using stuff like `when-let'. Or did that make
it into Emacs 24.4?
Anyway, maintaining a package that's supposed to work over a large range
of Emacs versions is an quite different thing than just targeting one
single build. If someone wants to try to maintain an eww "port", that's
fine by me, but I'm not going to change the "ooh! shiny!" implementation
style in shr or eww.
