The proposal was to split ELPA into two, either insided the single
archive or make the second part be hosted on a different server.
OK, so it was really focusing on the lower level technical implementation rather than clarifying what the purpose of GNU ELPA is, relationship with GNU Emacs and what should be in either or both? It is probably too early to consider such matters, especially when things like a non-copyrights repository are being considered.
