Sorry, I don't know what I proposed :)

Besides ELPA, don't forget el-get. It has its own directory structure
by necessity. I don't see a problem with innovation at the user
directory level, as long as it doesn't leak into the system software.

The data link between Emacs and the OS and other software installed
within is pretty fragile so I don't think this is an easy integration
task. Internally to Emacs it's no problem of course. I think the
answer is to reduce dependency on external tools. Emacs can do most
things on its own; `bbdb-print' is a very unusual case.
