This library gets about 1 change a year.  Given such a slow
development rate, what would be the justification of having it on
ELPA?  That it had some addition a few months ago doesn't seem to be a
good-enough reason, because by the same logic we'd have a large part
of Emacs on ELPA.

What was the specific practical case where you wished color.el was
available from ELPA?
