No, I am not aware of any plans in that direction. That has the inherent issue that packages would suddenly stop working if they depend on some part that a more minimal Emacs would throw out. That being said, the point has been raised that having a tighter binding between the core and GNU ELPA would not only make it easier for packages to be added to the core, but also to move to ELPA if the opinion is that they would be better maintained there. > Ernesto
