Notification of new elpa packages can be as important as notification of new Emacs versions, at least for some packages. But perhaps there should be a way for users to register for notification only for packages they care about? If reading email with Gnus, it's probably possible to write a filter that checks what packages are locally installed, and drop all other messages. -- -- Stephe
