The way I see it, currently Emacs de-facto recommends to most of its
users to add MELPA to their `package-archives`.
Now, I actually think MELPA is pretty good (modulo the few packages in
it which end up recommending/advertizing proprietary tools), so maybe
a better solution is to be honest about this de-facto situation and
actually add MELPA to the default value of `package-archives`.
Of course, those few not-quite-libre packages could pose problems for
that since they go against some of our values, so maybe we should not
add MELPA itself, but the "libre-MELPA" subset (which someone will have
to create and maintain).
WDYT?
