I'm not convinced that this change should go into Emacs 22. The
reason is a little subtle.
If you check the changelogs, inhibit-startup-screen used to be called
inhibit-startup-message, and i-s-m is now an alias for i-s-s.
With this change, people who've been using Emacs for a while and have
inhibit-startup-message bound to nil in their init file (as I did)
will encounter unexpected behavior. In other words, even though
inhibit-startup-message is non-nil, there's a startup message!
It's scarcely a serious issue---after all, Emacs progresses, and the
meanings of variables change. All the same, this kind of
incompatibility is best introduced between major versions.
