Yes, I wrote this in the description.  I wasn't talking about reviewing
the principle, but the suggested implementation.

Maybe I'm not reading it correctly, but I don't see why his preference
for option #2 (which implicitly won't happen until perhaps Emacs 25 and
requires further discussion) should preclude implementing option #1 as a
stopgap measure until #2 is ready to replace it with.  Unless of course
there's something obviously or non-obviously wrong with that
implementation.

Package manager is a tool for users who don't know or don't want to know
about the behind-the-scenes things in Emacs.  This bug is a trap for the
unwary and it can break Emacs for them very obtusely.
