In my opinion, no. I only suggested 'devil-keys' as a compromise that 
could address the concerns people had about the name 'devil' not 
providing a hint about what the package does. (In this subthread, I 
mainly wanted to discuss whether we could come up with a general 
guideline to assist package authors in coming up with reasonably-good 
names.)

But then I'm not exactly an authority figure on what does and doesn't go 
into ELPA. :)
