This is as much a question as a bug report, but this seems a better
place to ask it than emacs-devel@gnu.org:
Why is `emacs-lisp-mode' derived from `prog-mode' and not `lisp-mode'?
To test whether, e.g., the current buffer is one where you could
evaluate a Lisp sexp in it, you would need to test whether the current
mode is derived from one or the other of these two Lisp modes.
Seems like `lisp-mode' should in some sense "encompass"
`emacs-lisp-mode', and perhaps any other Lisp modes as well.
Feel free to close this, if it does not in fact report a bug.
But in that case I would like to know what the reason is.

Hysterical raisins?
We could/should probably restructure it a bit, with a common ancestor
`lisp-mode' and then have scheme-mode, emacs-lisp-mode, and
common-lisp-mode derive from it.
Patch welcome (after the unfreeze),
Stefan

Is this still relevant now that emacs-lisp-mode inherits lisp-data-mode
(which inherits prog-mode)?
Best regards,

No, I don't think so -- especially since we recently decided that
`lisp-mode' was really for Common Lisp.
So I'm closing this bug report.
