I think you are missing my point.  I didn't mean the details on the
level you seem to focus, I meant the deviations from our requirements
for code accepted into Emacs.

I have comments on your specific points (most of them are in ELPA's
README), but I see no reason to start a tangent, because IMO much more
important issues are at stake.
