Grumpy or not, some of us fully agree with you :) What's wrong with: - branching now (or at least soonish) for a "new features" 21.5 - releasing ASAP (for S ~ 0) the current RC branch as the last of the 21.[234] bugfix releases - joining the emacs_unicode branch into the trunk so developers can start to test it more thoroughly The more we wait, the harder will be to bring emacs_unicode back in sync with the trunk. /L/e/k/t/u
