Not now. But I did during the previous iteration - when I released
v5.0 (it was not 95% that time; but *for non-configuration type edits*
it might have been about 100%). And what I see are the bug reports
which are solved by switching from FSF's version.
Trying to maintain two separate versions was a bold experiment; I
supported it for a long time. However, it looks like this experiment
failed miserably - most of FSF edits are backwards in usability.
*Something* must be done in this situation. [I realize that it is a
potentially painful topic; it does not help that a lot of people find
my writing style offending. My apologies (including "in advance"); it
is not intendend.]
Yours,
Ilya
