The real problem there is that MELPA is the right approach for
continuous delivery but there is little or no real curation which leads
to some irritating problems. I hadn't realized Marmalade was on a
reimplemented relaunch; it is the complement of MELPA for a formal
release workflow. Put the two together properly organized and it would
be brilliant.
