In many/most cases they were written specifically for Gnus, so I cannot
agree with the above.
Perhaps a few of them seemed to be special-purpose for Gnus when first
installed. But some of them were clearly always general-purpose
facilities. Those should be installed in Emacs as ordinary parts of
Emacs, after a suitable discussion here. We should discuss the
right design for them, just as we would if some other part of Emacs
had been the motive for writing them.
