Ok, thanks for the clarification RMS. 
Anybody else: is this settled, then?

I am asking because I have to start round two of code-digging as Stefan suggested to find out whether each and every line that has been included by patches a long time ago is 

    1. either deleted or

    2. in case it survived try to contact the author.

That is a rather time consuming activity and I don't want in the last minute to hear an objection to include matlab-mode, as you maybe understand.

Regards
