Yes, that is what I want to do. I protested, and Jason said that if there were things in the trunk intended for 22.2, we should merge them into EMACS_22_BASE now That is not the reason. (And I think those merges have been done, or most of them at least.) so that the trunk is free for getting unicode-2 merged into it. I've already stated the reason for this, and it still applies. But I consider it a mistake to even ponder this question: when the plan is to keep them identical, we don't need two branches for that. There is no plan to keep them identical. The plan is to install lots of improvements in the trunk, and put only a few of them into Emacs 22.2. > What does the feedback consist of? Users saying they wish the GTK > build were the default?

There's a long thread on fedora-devel (Why isn't emacs installed by default) I can't read it there, but I would like to know what it says that is relevant. What did people there say about this particular question? And how many of them supported it?
