I'm correcting a message I didn't write clearly.

  > +  By default, Emacs downloads packages from GNU ELPA

I said:

    I think it is ok to say this provided that these are packages we can't
    or should not include in Emacs, so people can't depend on them

I should have said:

    I think it is ok to say this about NonGNU ELPA provided we say
    clearly that these are packages we can't or should not include in
    Emacs, so people should not depend on them to continue to be
    present.

Sorry.
