Is that true?  I have MELPA enabled, and for packages that appear both
in GNU ELPA and MELPA, I get for example

  diff-hl            1.5.1        available  gnu        Highlight uncommitted 
changes
  diff-hl            20131114.53  available  melpa      Highlight uncommitted 
changes

so that I can decide to either use the stable release or the bleeding
edge version.
