After thinking about this some more, I guess their fear might be that
people modify and redistribute their ELPA library as part of a bigger
GPL project.  As the LGPL->GPL relicensing seems to be a one-way street,
they might understandably think that they will not be able to
incorporate those GPL'd modifications into their version.

Is this a valid concern and if so, is there some way around it?
