I agree. And I know that ELPA is better (... kind of)
But this file is outdated, and it's just a bug for me.
So, I reported.

And it's content is just misleading for begginers.
There is no such option as ELPA in menu, while MORE.STUFF is available 
from important Help menu.

Should be removed or updated.
