Let me rephrase this in a more positive way: people who are interested
in having the PGTK build work with MPS are encouraged to come on
board, track this branch's development and the related discussions,
and contribute ideas and patches for that configuration of Emacs.
That's the only way of making sure the branch works with the PGTK
build; it is not a question of changing priorities, because no one of
those currently involved is intentionally neglecting PGTK in this
respect.
