This last criterion I don't think I understand. I was under the
impression that we are not supposed to limit admission of packages
just because there are alternatives to what they do.
For example, symbol-overlay seems to do what hi-lock-mode does. But
my understanding was that this fact shouldn't preclude symbol-overlay
from being admitted. Now you seem to be saying that we shouldn't add
such packages?
Bottom line: I'm still confused.
