That's fine with me, I have nothing against leaving some packages in emacs.git if their maintainers so wish. I was replying to a single aspect of this discussion: the expectation that packages which will be moved to ELPA will necessarily and inevitably suffer in terms of QA and the developers' attention they receive. I'm saying that AFAIU this is not supposed to happen, for the reasons I presented.
