1+. At this point the only hammer available to package authors is message and it's turned into a rather blunt/heavy-weight hammer. One thing I'd request we do as we bring in package alert or its equivalent and encourage its use --- make it possible for async vs sync notifications to be user controlled. Witness the havoc that resulted a few months ago when package.el tried to update packages in the background; emacs became extremely distracting / unusable because of the large number of messages that spewed out in the echo area. There would be value in distinguishing informational vs alert messages at the API level, and hopefully alert can help there. --
