Hi Gregory,
Your explanation makes sense, and I am now seeing the same
behavior you're describing—a deleted package is automatically
removed from `package-selected-packages`. I may have been doing
something silly, and have since wiped my packages and restarted
my Emacs session along with reinstalling all the packages I
specified with `with-package`. Sorry for the false alarm, but
your answer was helpful in furthering my understanding :)

Thank you for your post — I have already replaced `use-package` in my config with `with-package`. I was not using many features of the former to begin with, but just as a clean sort of wrapper for setting up packages. `with-package` seems to suit my needs nicely. I am seeing one issue so far, and was wondering if you had any thoughts on the matter. I used `with-package` to set up a package I wanted to just try out. I later deleted the package with `package-delete`, but its name still remains in `package-selected-packages`. In hindsight, I should have simply installed this package manually if I were merely testing it, but what if later on down
