Yes, of course. And I will.
But that's not the point. I _care_ deeply about Emacs, like everybody
else on this mailing list. Not just about how you can configure it, but
how it appears to the new user. I want the hacker who takes up Emacs
23, or 24, or 25, to get that same "Eureka!" feeling that I got way back
when. The feeling that Emacs is _different_, that it's _right_, that
it's _special_ - that when you ask a question, the answer is "yes".
