I think we all agree about it. The mainstream Emacs will never be like the one you distribute because an important consideration for it is that it should behave like Emacs on other platforms, as opposed to your distribution which places more emphasis on having it behave like other apps on Mac OS X. But it's still a good goal to try and minimize the difference between the two. At least, to the point where your distribution is not a full Emacs install but only an add-on. An important consideration here is that the same Emacs install should be able to accomodate users who want MacOSX behavior and users who want Emacs behavior. Stefan
