It is not "antagonistic" not to make the FSF-maintained version of Emacs a rallying ground for Windows-only extensions. That would be rather pointless, in contrast to consistently maintaining functionality that is the same or similar across platforms. I think it was pretty clear that if this feature was implemented in a way that did not exclude free operating systems, there would be no problem with it. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
