Totally agreed on all counts. Make it work in both places, or better yet, just include
sumo! Does having lots of packages in the release have any downside? Does it slow things
down, introduce bugs, or what?

Actually, the more I think about it, it seems like good defensive
programming would require that XEmacs should work with either:
/usr/local/share/xemacs/*-packages if present, otherwise
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/*-packages And, I second the motion to just
include EFS in base and be done with it. The Windows version includes a
bunch of these packages by default and the same policy should work with
UNIX it seems to me. When I first started using XEmacs about 10 years
ago, I remember that this was confusing to me as well.
