I will echo that sentiment. Actually, the first time I upgraded to the
package stuff it went without a hitch. The next time it took me awhile to
figure out why it didn't work.
I imagine it's just teething pain that will get worked out as the XEmacs
folks get more experience themselves, but auto-package install is definitely
something that would have to be pretty bulletproof. I doubt the average
Python user will have a similar level of computer savvy as the average
XEmacs user.
On top of that, how will you know that you want package X until you download
it and try it out? I presume that carried to its logical conclusion, a
package's documentation would be installed along with its source...
chicken-and-egg-ly y'rs,
