Exactly. I don't want to put a package into the core right now. I'm just
curious if there is a distinction of packages "belonging to the core" or
anything can go into the core regardless of purpose if the papers are OK.

As I said I know about such external packages, and it was only an example.
I'm just wondering if there is policy of keeping the core (elpa included) small to
lessen the burden of emacs maintainers, or there is no such policy, 
and if people submitted the necessary papers then they could dump packages into
elpa by the thousand.

Let's take the kill ring. It's a central piece of emacs, yet I don't see any keyboard
based solution built in to browse and search the kill ring. M-y is extremely basic. There is
a menu, but it's mouse based, inefficient.

There are external packages, of course, but I wonder if there should be a builtin way to
navigate and search the kill ring from the keyboard. By builtin I mean a package available
from at least elpa.

Is there a current policy which governs what features are integrated into the core (elpa) 
and what features are left to outside developers?
