What happened here was something completely different.  "Here's a new

Yes, we did say that.

And then, we never went back to reconsider, to put any of such packages
into the core.

That's not very relevant to the issue at hand.  Let's not change the
subject.

I don't understand what makes you say that.

And we never got any complaints about that, either.

Here I am, complaining.

You're not the author of any of these packages. Not an ELPA user either, IIUC.

So I'm saying it's generally a good thing for most packages, to be put
into ELPA instead. We didn't explain that outright (which is
suboptimal), but it seems like most submitters realized this afterward.

Of course, you'd say that: you think packages should be on ELPA as a
matter of principle. You also think we should take some of what is
already in Emacs and put it on ELPA instead.  I wouldn't expect a
balanced opinion from you on this matter.

Way to dismiss the arguments without reading.

Since your experience with ELPA is basically zero, how are you going to determine what is a balanced opinion, and what isn't?
