They forgot to tell you that if you drop out of packaging, you'll have to
install, upgrade and maintain all the other things which make emacs so valuable
(Emacs is the extensible, ...) by hand, too. I'm talking w3m, mew,
cedet/semantic, xcscope, etc.

Go ahead, I did it for years. But now, with limited time, I don't want to miss
the advantages of packages.

You have been warned.
