Have people already considered > whether to install it?) Perhaps because it is so closely integrated with the swank backend? You would have to include both for it to make sense including slime. Note that the swank protocol is still evolving, so at the present time distributing the slime front end separately from the swank backend seems to make little sense. (For those unfamiliar with slime: Slime (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs) refers both to the whole package and to the front end running in emacs. Swank, as I said, runs in the client lisp. And the whole package provides a nice integrated development environment for (mostly common) lisp. - Harald
