So much the worse. Well, you did not manage to get it fixed for the
release. That's in line with a whole lot of other problems and
usability issues. Too bad.
What do people think we are about to release? "Emacs 22.1, the editor
without any bugs or problems, with no further improvements possible"?
Emacs is a _large_ system, for crying out loud. We won't get it
bug-free ever. The only thing that is supposed to hold up a release
is a _release-critical_ bug. Having mentioned some problem before
does not make it release-critical.
