There is no question about that. We will switch to unicode as soon as the unicode support is fully working. Please do not draw such big conclusions from side issues in words from people who are not in charge. If you want to know what our plans are for Emacs development, please ask me, not anyone else. > would you want to be required to merge them onto a Guile branch as > well? I'm afraid I don't want to waste my time on things related to Guile. If we're competing against that, I'm going to stop. There is no need for you to concern yourself with the Guile changes. That is a possibility for the future; it won't have any impact on your work on the unicode branch.
