I was using that branch for longer, but being heavy daily user of
Emacs with serious business, I cannot use it, it is not yet
stable. Reasons I have sent already to this list, I had no issues

Most terrible was that ghostly appearance of words and characters
which I didn't type, or totally scrambling characters which I type.
