The way I see NonGNU ELPA is for packages which we Emacs maintainers
would like to see included in Emacs because they're important for the
whole Emacs community, but for some reason we were not able to collect
the needed paperwork.  At least, that was the motivation behind the
creation of the NonGNU ELPA archive.

taxy.el fails this test on 2 counts:
1- we already have the paperwork.
2- while it may be a handy package and may yet develop into
   a cornerstone of Emacs, there aren't hordes of users
   or packages that depend on it currently.

Admittedly, some of the packages that were added lately to NonGNU also
fail the "importance" test, so it's probably not as important a criteria
as I thought it is.
