Yup. And moving packages out of Emacs is extra work with very
little payback. There's theory and then there's practice ;-)

What I wrote above is not any kind of decision. It's "my take on it".
And that's been my take on it for many years now, and it guides the way
I argue for or against inclusion of packages in Emacs and in GNU ELPA.
