- It is not writable as a user
- it is not user-specific
- there is no standard repository where to get librairies from
- there is no standard way to fetch them
- there is no automatic mean to keep them up to date.
Emacs need a packaging system to give satisfactory solution to all
theses problems. I know it has already been discussed here, and I do
not aim to restart the debate (yet). But the proper, and universal
way, to distribute such a large piece of software, is through a
packaging system. Be the repositories under full control of the FSF.
