(A very confusing long thread followed.)
Some people seem to interpret this as you saying that you want to remove
some packages from Emacs and put them into Elpa. But what you're saying
here is the opposite -- you want to bundle (some) Elpa packages into
Emacs.
I think you're not quite communicating what the purpose here is. Do you
want to move some bits of Emacs into a place where it can be updated
faster than other bits of Emacs?
Or do you wish to slim down "Emacs" by moving bits of it into Elpa, but
then bundle Elpa into Emacs anyway?
But then there's this:

So if you're bundling Elpa into Emacs, why would this matter anyway?
Won't it always be available anyway?
To put my query here more succinctly:
"Huh?"
Please clarify.
