Right. There are several installers out there, but I know Lennart has
written his installer (which is the one that is likely to become part of
the official distribution after 22.1 is released) to work with the
official packages, not to replace them. I don't see this changing in
future, even if/when the installer becomes part of the official Emacs
distribution.
