That's not how I read it. It seems to me that the OP (and others in
this thread, as well is in the package manager threads) are looking
for a more open ecology, something like the various C*AN networks on
the "Emacs is a platform for application development" side, and FFI on
the the "Emacs interacts with various communication protocols and
storage formats" side.
In other words, less, not more, centralization. A smaller core Emacs
doing less better, and delegating more to 3rd-party libraries.

Oops. I wish you had posted 30 minutes earlier, I just misquoted
myself in another channel. Thank you (and Eli) for the correction,
anyway.

I don't decorate the log files. I use things like M-x occur or M-x
delete-non-matching lines on them, though. Does less support such
features now?
