I think there's no real advantage to doing "all of emacs" at once. For packages that have a maintainer this sort of thing should probably be done on a per-package basis at a time when the maintainer feels things are "stable" (the main point being to avoid any conflict with external patches). It probably _is_ better to not combine such changes with other feature changes though. If CVS were changeset-oriented, you'd at least want to make them separate changesets. -Miles -- We have met the enemy, and he is us. -- Pogo
