The presence of those 2 versions is undesirable and only caused by the fact that we didn't have the required legal paperwork for python-mode. So anything that can bring the two modes closer is good, as long as we can keep it in the Emacs repository (i.e. as long as those changes come with appropriate copyright paperwork). Stefan
