As for removing the ability of turning off unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, I'm not sure. If we remove it, that means all Emacs codes can assume unify-8859-on-encoding-mode unconditionally. If that decreases some cost of maintaining some code, I agree with removing it. If keeping it just means that keeping a few variables and functions, we don't have to remove it now. We can remove it after confirming that there's no case that unify-8859-on-encoding-mode does something bad through the pretest period of 21.3. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@etl.go.jp _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
