What are the essential reasons for having two Git repos rather than one?

Is the vision that core Emacs could eventually be reduced to the Elisp engine
and other infrastructure, and ELPA constitutes the features? If so, then
shouldn't Emacs in principle be buildable and runnable without ELPA packages,
with the caveat that commands would be missing?

Right, tracking emacs.git master would hopefully entail tracking elpa.git
master.

This is a virtue. Package maintainers would be involved in the same way as when
their package is in emacs.git.

Duplicates 'git log PACKAGE-DIR'.
