I would certainly hope not, but I've come to be somewhat leery of emacs
extensions that consist of large numbers of interelated elisp files.
I'm afraid that the lack of a package manager combined with Stallman's
fearsome reputation as guardian of the cathedral has made gnu emacs
prone to these things... they often seem to me like forks-in-disguise.

I guess it's good to have a live example at hand, like this, but the immediate
question (in my mind at least) would be is ert.el an entirely stand-alone
package, or has some some dependencies with your other packages crept in?
