But why is that a good idea? >> It reduces the length of load-path and increases our namespace? > But this can be said about any other subdirectory of lisp/, can't it? Yes, it can. Simply the other ones have counter-balancing reasons (mostly the fact that the other files usually come from random places and just expect to be found directly in load-path. E.g. many of the files started in emacs/lisp before being moved to a subdirectory). But as can be seen with CEDET, the case of lisp/term is not inherently unique. Stefan
