Hi all,

I agree. Closure size isn't the right metric for this
case. emacs-vertico and emacs-selectrum aren't really optional
dependencies in the normal sense. The user would only want one of them
in their profile, and never both. Propagating both would rather be a
nuisance to the user.

I agree. Variant multiplication would result in a minor combinatorial
explosion. emacs-vertico and emacs-selectrum are anyway the kind of
package a user would explicitly install in their profile.

Cheers!
Arun
