If we include the package in the Emacs 29 release, that will call for mentioning it in many places in documentation for users -- the places that document the features it enhances. Even if its own source code still carries the name "Eglot", those improvements in documenation should carry the clearer name. And a few places in the code should use the other name. So we have a reason to finish this now. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
