And I fervently hope that does not change. Moving Emacs to the world of Gems/Bundler or Maven, where every package depends on two dozen half-assed libraries (each of which transitively use at least two dozen more), and where everything breaks all the time because someone decided to "upgrade" to the JSON parser in vogue this week, hardly strikes me as an improvement.
