I can put it to some use (to my own ends). I am willing to send patches against Emacs Bzr trunk [1]. But, I need to be personally convinced that my patches will be diligently and dispassionately considered. I admit that my exercising of a right - right to not assign - is not without collateral damages. I regret these damages, but I have no means to express my disapproval of ... in a *substantial* way so that is getting noticed. I do want my changes to be in Emacs (ultimately) but not the immediate major release or until the circumstances change. Footnotes: [1] The patches are most likely to be minor changes addressing areas that annoys me. I have some bugs that I have lined up already in debbbugs.
