There's no hurry. I think the main point is to provide the framework (i.e. password.el) so that other code can begin to use it. > Incidentally, I realized that password.el could be enhanced with > support for netrc.el (i.e., passwords stored in ~/.authinfo), or even > storing passwords via customize (in ~/.emacs). Sure. We're in feature freeze, tho, so better stop thinking about how things could be further changed and start thinking about how to get the manual and the remaining bugs fixed, instead. Otherwise we'll never reach a release. Stefan
