The main virtue of ELPA is that we make sure that the package follows
our ethical criteria, so that it is acceptable for us to recommend it
to people. A second virtue is that we can move the code into core Emacs.
A secondary benefit is that the Emacs developers can fix problems in
these packages, when we know of a specific problem.
