If you mean "drive to put packages in GNU ELPA rather than in core", then this drive is linked to various aspects: - we can put packages in elpa.git without worrying too much about whether or not they are "good/important enough", contrary to packages in core. - packages in elpa.git don't come with the same kind of implicit guarantee of compatibility, availability, and maintenance as those in core. - sync'ing with an external upstream is easier in elpa.git since there's no need to pay attention to Emacs release schedule. - sync'ing with an external upstream can be made technically easier because we can use a separate branch for the package.
