His statement above and the current talks about merging the RMAIL mbox branch (which IIUC don't really have a current maintainer) could indicate that RMS wants to make a 22.2 release which includes just the Rmail branch... > > There is at least one specific disadvantage, i.e., it would delay > merging the unicode and multi-tty branches onto the trunk.

I'm not usually paranoid, but isn't this just another strong indication of the secret(?) plan to delay -- as much as possible -- not just 22.1, but also every possible future release. -- Kim F.
