The Emacs maintainers should never ask contributors to use any of those things. What they personally use is a different issue. It is very desirable for the main Emacs maintainer to use GNU/Linux, since that is the principal target platform for GNU Emacs. However, a person who uses some other system can still be a good comaintainer. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
