Right. There are several installers out there, but I know Lennart has 
written his installer (which is the one that is likely to become part of 
the official distribution after 22.1 is released) to work with the 
official packages, not to replace them. I don't see this changing in 
future, even if/when the installer becomes part of the official Emacs 
distribution.
