You search the package collection and get a thousand [sub-]packages, you're lost.
Important to point out:
This is not to be understood as an argument _against_ "emacs-" subpackages,
it's only my more general feeling with regard to packaging thousands
of individual tiny add-ons. Providing some extensions, okay. Trying to
provide thousands in thousands of packages, that's insane.
