So far, all of these arguments against a tighter development integration with
ELPA have been predicated on the way that ELPA is used today. ELPA is under
our control; we can adjust our process to suit the needs of Emacs development.

It comes from the desire to decouple the development of large, mostly external
projects, from core Emacs. They don't belong in Emacs.git.
