But if it becomes too much of a burden one should reconsider if it's worthwhile (IMHO). The renaming also increases the differences between Emacs and XEmacs and packages intended for both will have to add further case distinctions. >> But couldn't at least the old feature names be provided by the >> single files?

It wouldn't solve it completely, but once the file is loaded the feature (with the right name) will be present, and the third-party package will run. Ulrich
