You can say the same about any other changes we will do as part of adding CEDET to Emacs. They all have been part of CEDET for many years, but we still make those changes. Emacs has certain standards that each included package needs to adhere to. Being 8+3 clean is one of them. > Short names such as hilit for highlight create language noise. It > appears to be a proper word but it is not. There's no problem with having very long file names in Emacs; we already have quite a lot of them. Only file names that clash after 8+3 truncation are a problem.
