Yes: the "Ln Cn" display was deemed "quite annoying to look at". Sounds familiar? ;-) You can read the entire thread here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2002-08/msg00451.html (most of it is not about this particular change). > I offered my rationale for this change above; can't we debate the merits rather than that we changed it long > ago? It just sounds strange to me to go back on a change, when no one AFAIR complained about that change.
