As for me, I think the current behaviour (looking for packages only in the user and the system profiles) is the right one. If you want to auto-load emacs packages from some non-standard profiles, you can easily do this on your own (as I showed in the previous message). Anyway, if you think that some feature is missing, I would recommend to send a message to <[email protected]> about it. Perhaps other people will agree with your point. -- Alex
