I have not tried yet, but I hope, preparing a tar file and using 
`package-install-file' should behave in the same way as installing from 
ELPA. Some spacemacs users believe they have noticed some difference, 
but I am not convinced.

Since it will be only in new version of the manual, a URL with online 
manual should be provided. Using `info' may give old version with no 
added section. Perhaps the FAQ entry should be revised as well.
