First of all, =E2=80=93 when the package is of the multi-file variety, would the =E2=80=9Crelease machinery=E2=80=9D be somehow offended should I import the pre-release history /without/ the respective PKG/PKG.el file, =E2=80=93 used (AIUI) for its Version: metadata field? (I=E2=80=99ll then push that file in a separate =E2=80=9Crelease=E2=80=9D = commit.) Now, that same file is going to have a dozen lines of code (excluding comments) at most (that is: mainly the =E2=80=98defgroup=E2=80= =99 and =E2=80=98provide=E2=80=99 forms.) Should I use the GPL3+ notice for that = file (as the rest of the code uses), or would the simple all-permissive license [1] be also acceptable? Also regarding the release machinery, do I understand it correctly that there=E2=80=99s currently no way to maintain several (say, =E2=80=9Cdevelopment=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cstable=E2=80=9D) branches= in GNU ELPA?
