True, but that isn't a scenario I have to deal with. My development machines are both OSX. If I need an emacs editor on a linux box, I fire up mg. I just haven't needed to provision emacs on a non-OSX machine for years now. If cross-platform package support is a requirement, then this project is definitely not sufficient. But as every development tool I use is already managed by Homebrew, this is the more natural extension for me — not ELPA.
