So when we consider adding to Emacs a package that implemnts a new feature, it isn't just a matter of how many users lke that feature. There are several things we might want to do with a new feature implemented as a eparate package: * Add it to Emacs as written. * Leave it out. * Merge the code into related parts of Emacs for better integration. * Reimplement the feature for better integration * And someimes others. Since I don't use Org mode, I don't have an opinion about what to do in this case. I'm simply reminding people to think about these options for the functionaliy of org-menu, and make a good choice. -- 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)
