Perhaps not as rigorously tested and maintained as Emacs itself, but more so than some package on github that has not seen an update in 5 years. If the only virtue of being on ELPA is that I can install via package.el then that seems like rather thin gruel. Perhaps the bar for admission to ELPA is too low. Could we require automated tests that can be run regularly to confirm package health?
