Emacs-goodies-el is not in a general state of inconsistency. Recommends for elpafied packages are only added—in git—after they clear NEW and are accepted into the archive. Then there is a couple of days/weeks lag before a new version of emacs-goodies-el is uploaded. The long description is updated with every release. Extra documentation is not RC, dropping priority. If you'd prefer I can update the info source with every release, now that I've discovered C-c C-u C-e, C-u C-c C-u m. If extra documentation was RC then 36.3+nmu1 has an RC bug. Fixed in git, targeted for 40.0 — I can release now if you want. 48/96 packages remain. Most importantly, we're doing this incrementally, including exposing users of testing to elisp package removals, because this gives the maximal number of users the maximum amount of time to say "Hey, I use that, please don't remove it!" and/or to step forward as upstream maintainer, and/or to maintain the elpafied package they use. I want to avoid "oh, you wanted that package? Sorry, not for buster". Cheers, Nicholas
