(I think over time you would find yourself using it too, though, as using it is often more efficient than avoiding it.) If you think that I could "find myself" using a web-based system, you must not understand the difficulty. If it is web based, I can't access it. There is little chance I will "find myself" having a net connection more of the time. That is the reason for my decision that we will not use a web-based system to hold data about Emacs development. Please consider the decision final; let's not keep discussing the matter.
