It's too early to discuss the packaging of Emacs 23, but I'd say UnicodeData.txt _should_ be part of the tarball, because otherwise users will not be able to regenerate those *.el files if they want to change some of the characters' attributes. 800KB more is not going to change anything in what is already a 80MB to 130MB source tree. > I didn't know about admin/make-tarball.txt.

Even better, perhaps make-dist should find some way to check whether a bootstrap was done, and refuse to work if it wasn't.
