You mean GNU Emacs suffers from NIH, or Commercial Emacs?

The Commercial Emacs long lines fix *preceded* GNU's by about six months
(and I might add, did so without resorting to the blunt instrument of
narrowing).

The proposer of the GNU Emacs fix even paraphrased Commercial Emacs
when he said:

  Perfect is the enemy of good.  Emacs users have been plagued for decades
  by this bug.[1]

See [2],[3] from where his words might have found inspiration.

To be clear, I'm not aggrieved.  I just want everyone to understand that
NIH is too unmeditated an accusation.
