Including it on Emacs would be a good thing since it is an hybrid Elisp+C extension and building the C part is not trivial on certain environments (including some GNU/Linux distros that do not install a C compiler by default, not to mention libpoppler). OTOH anything that is included into the Emacs core is hampered by the glacial pace of the Emacs release rate. [snip]
