Message-ID: <83h6zyye3f.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

I don't understand many of these changes.  They seem to be personal
stylistic preferences, in which case please revert them: there's
nothing wrong with alternative stylistic preferences.

Why this change?

And this?

And this one?  What's wrong with using "which" in that case?

And what's the problem here?

This change is for the worse: project.el supports more than just Git.

What was wrong with the original text here?

>  @item M-x eglot-shutdown
> -Shut down a language server.  This commands prompts for a language
> +Shuts down a language server.  This commands prompts for a language

This is a change for the worst: the first sentence is now incomplete.

Why do you think it is "more realistic"?  The whole point of Eglot is
that it's almost agnostic to the source language, so why do we have to
talk about C sources in particular?

Please revert that: I see no need to move the description to another
place.  The current text was well thought-of.

Thanks.
