You know someone who refuses to upgrade their Emacs to the latest and are still running the version they first encountered. For example, someone located the sources to Gnus 2.0 (they're up on gnus.org now) and perhaps this "stubborn" person is using it to read USENET on Emacs 18.x-- that's what I was interested in. >>From a personal example, i skipped Emacs 20.x entirely because of the Mule-Wars and happily lived with 19.34 for the longest time. (I originally forgot to xpost to comp.emacs, now added; the more the merrier :)
