To make completion harder? 

I’ve signed papers assigning all my Emacs work to GNU; twice, in fact. 
http://mid.gmane.org/16816.39575.977351.530618.dm0@vm.parhasard.net and
http://mid.gmane.org/17502.9536.699823.232214@parhasard.net for the two
relevant timeframes. If the two-steps thing was an issue, no-one actually
said that, Stefan just asked for clarification about what I was doing.

Oleksandr, I’m not going to do any more work to get this patch integrated
into a program I don’t use and have no interest in using; I’ve put notable
time and thought over more than two years into it, and this is enough for
me. If you would like to have it integrated into GNU Emacs, please follow up
on this list and with Jurta; it probably won’t be necessary for you to do
any coding and as such, to send assignment papers to the FSF, just
shepherding the patch should be enough.
