We've been through this before, and the situation has not changed.

The XEmacs package system has two purposes: (1) to provide a
convenient installer for users, and (2) to provide a consistent,
modular framework for administration, development, and quality
assurance of packages (as opposed to the packaged code itself, which
can be, and often is developed and maintained outside of the package
system).

The strategy you propose is not compatible with (2).
