If, like the author of `minimal-emacs.d`, you prefer to obtain the latest packages from MELPA to access new features and improvements, you can adjust the priority so that Emacs `use-package` retrieves the newest versions from MELPA before consulting the stable GNU and nongnu repositories. While MELPA packages are generally regarded as less stable, actual breakages are uncommon; over the past year, only a single package (`package-lint`) in the author’s configuration experienced a brief disruption, which was quickly resolved.
