Instead of `fancy' I suggest `all' since that describes what is going
on. I know that you consider it fancy, but I consider it the norm.

Here I would go with `devel' since that explains more to the user than
`edge'. I like the idea behind it though.

To me `custom' sounds like a duplication of simply using `require' to
add your own configuration. I doubt that people who are interested in
fine-tuning Emms will use this since the Emacs environment does a lot to
ease such customization.

I guess we will leave this for further comments and if no one argues or
picks it up I'll take it on.

Definitely. I vote yes.
