The good thing about the package approach is that Elispers who are all creative and active with their stuff have a natural place to stash it so other people can find it, give comments, etc. - perhaps there can be, or is, an Elisp (Lisp) culture around all that. So much of all that isn't good/general enough to ever be included in Emacs but it isn't bad/obscure enough to rot on a single persons HD either. So it is a good compromise :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
