Not a comment on the patch, but the idea behind it: I find the current
arrangement between GNU ELPA and GNU-devel ELPA to give me the best of
both worlds. Users who need rolling releases can opt in to the "devel"
version: this has the upside of explicitly acknowledging that the
package is not marked as "stable".
The user can also arrange the 'package-archive-priorities' to choose
gnu-devel by default. And there is also 'package-pinned-packages' in
case they want a different archive for a given package. Example from my
init file where I prioritise regular GNU ELPA:
(setq package-pinned-packages
'((cursory . "elpa-devel")
(denote . "elpa-devel")
(ef-themes . "elpa-devel")
(fontaine . "elpa-devel")
(lin . "elpa-devel")
(logos . "elpa-devel")
(pulsar . "elpa-devel")
(tmr . "elpa-devel")))
