Re: Suggested font lock preferences for GNU Emacs

This is not quite the right choice.  The choice is between MELPA and GNU
ELPA, both of which are subtypes of ELPA.

Not sure what you mean by that.  If you mean "learn how to package my
code for (GNUD|M)ELPA", then my opinion is that it probably isn't since
GNU ELPA comes pre-configured in Emacs, so everyone has access to it
without any extra setup, whereas MELPA is only accessible to users after
they set their `package-archives` accordingly.
