Hi, I am attaching a patch from emacs-devel that was written two years
ago, where we discussed the possibility of adding package.el to ELPA.
There is a minor difference here, I propose setting the version to
1.1.1-pre, so as to prevent an immediate release on ELPA.  It should be
possible to gather some feedback from ELPA devel users before committing
to a final release.

As far as I am aware, the main objection to this idea is that this might
introduce instability that is difficult to fix (If `package-delete'
doesn't work, then it isn't obvious how to uninstall the newer
package.el).  Are there any other points we should discuss?
