Well I don't plan to do anything at all.

At times though I have been thinking about whether a source code based
package system would make sence. Things that spring to my mind are:
 - doing the byte compilation locally so that the right byte code is
   generated naturally. The same Emacs used for running the package is
   also used for compiling it.
 - the build would handle Emacs properties like mule or nonmule
   depending on what version of Emacs is used for the build.
 - at the same time construct the package system to handle
   dependencies properly between packages, including dependencies to
   the Emacs binary.
 - support for third party packages.
 - ...

Yours
