What I'd like to see done in Emacs
There is another alternative if you want to install package that's not on MELPA or ELPA, it's https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa. It's using package.el so fully compatible with your current 200 packages, just only use it for package you want. Not only that, it supports to install packages from multiple SVC, not only git like straight.el
