What does it mean in practice "to move from elpa.git to emacs.git"?
Does it mean emacs.git becomes the upstream for that package?  If so,
how will the separate development of those package be handled, to
support updates via package.el without waiting for Emacs releases?

(I wish people would explain their proposals in terms of Git commands
needed to support each proposal, instead of talking about general
concepts without the details necessary to understand the essence of
each proposal and alternative.  I believe there's a lot of confusion
and misunderstanding caused by too general description of the
alternatives.)
