I really do want to see Emacs growing its build setup so it can bundle
ELPA packages like AUCTeX.  But that should not require any change on
the part of AUCTeX.  The benefit being that end users will get AUCTeX
support without having to download and install the package.

In comparison migrating AUCTeX into Emacs would require significant extra
work on the part of AUCTeX with no extra benefit for the end users.
