That part is simple, but then it won't support updating the package
from ELPA. So doing this "the simple way" flies in the face of the
very reason for which packages are moved to ELPA: to allow users
update them without waiting for the next Emacs release.
The challenge is to "include ELPA" in a way that will allow updating
the included packages.

If that's what people want, sure, I think we can. But we should first
review the reasons for which we moved ada-mode to ELPA: perhaps some
of those reasons are still valid, and we will be re-creating the same
problems again.
