So, does this mean meteorite (http://oortcloud.github.com/meteorite/) is now obsolete?

We took inspiration from the great work Tom and Mike did on Meteorite; several of 0.6.0's features are essentially versions of what Meteorite let you do, except for much more deeply integrated into the core. For now, Meteorite is still a great tool for installing packages from Atmosphere into your app... a fully integrated third-party package repository is in the works but isn't part of 0.6.0.

If you wanted to implement a package that uses something Meteor specific (aka another Meteor package like Meteor.Accounts) you would still want to create a meteorite/atmosphere package instead of a node package right?

I think so. NPM packages are only supposed to rely on node and other NPM packages. Meteorite packages also rely on Meteor, which isn't an NPM package.
