The rationale was that since we can set the cursor-type per-buffer, we should also be able to set the blink off state in a buffer-local manner. However, this can be achieved by making blink-cursor-alist buffer local and set that, so this is indeed superfluous.

If not, I guess you fixed a simple bug. The doc-string said so, but in practice, the blink-cursor-alist was only consulted when setting the cursor-type frame parameter; the blink-cursor-alist was not consulted if the (buffer-local) variable cursor-type was set to a specific cursor type. > > * cursor-in-non-selected-windows can now be set to a specific cursor > type. > > That seems ok. > > -- Kim F.
