I think we should stick to ELPA. It stands for "Emacs Lisp Package
Archive", which is much more logical and easier to remember than an
unrelated self-referential acronym. There need not be one single ELPA;
if one needs to draw a distinction, we can refer to GNU ELPA versus Tom
Tromey's ELPA, etc.
Stefan's suggestion to use emacs.gnu.org/packages is fine by me too, but
even in that case we'd still refer to the package archive as the GNU
Emacs package archive, so there's hardly much difference.
