Well, are we currently starting another long heated discussion, not even
talking about well established things?  I won't be carrying on with this
thread too long.  ;-)

A lot of the recent discussions haven't been about "the slightest
change"s, they've been about changing the very core features of Emacs.
Everybody on this list has strong views about these, and proposing a
changes to them is bound to trigger off long heated discussions.

Let's get back to Emacs bugs and features!
