JK> Helm is in fact one of these cases: JK> https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm#install-from-emacs-packaging-system True! i typically don't need Helm updates that urgently, and restart either Emacs or my system on a regular basis, so i don't particular notice this issue. Nevertheless, i would still suggest that people try to use the package system as much as possible, and only work around it when absolutely necessary (such as needing Helm updates as rapidly as possible).
