While it is indeed the case for some of the GNU ELPA packages, it's
definitely not the case for all of them, because it's not "curated" in
this sense.
Some would likely qualify as useless, others as poorly written, many
don't follow the coding standards, ...

[ Then again, that also applies to several packages bundled with
  Emacs ;-)  ]
