That's not possible, not with these decisions.

And even a week's delay is too much.

That again is not something to consider so close to cutting the
release branch.  We have enough to do with landing Eglot to keep us
busy till then.

One more package with a name that needs a description is not a
catastrophe.  We already have a few.

Please help me get Emacs 29 on time and also with enough features to
justify a major release.  I _need_ that help, and I need the
understanding to go with it.  I do NOT need proposals that will make
the job harder.  Please bear with me.
