Richard, Eli: please decide wether you want s.el into ELPA or not.
This is a bit embarassing for me to have done the work of getting
magnars to agree to put it there just to be refused at the last
minute, especially since in the past days I receive nothing but
requests to at least get s.el into ELPA, if the namespace way lead to
nowhere.

I'm not sure why there's this sudden turnaround on this issue, maybe
I'm missing something.
