(BTW, ack.texi itself says to do that.) Perhaps I thought that it would be confusing to describe code as present in Emacs if it is not in fact present now. I don't have a strong opinion about it now. But perhaps it would be desirable to move the acknowledgments for deletec code to a second section which explicitly says it is for code now deleted. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
