I don't see that the trunk accomplishes _any_ function in connection to Emacs development that would not equally well be accomplished if unicode-2 was merged. We don't need a "stable" trunk: we have EMACS_BASE_22 for that purpose. Our goal, in my opinion, should never become to have the trunk be the main distribution channel of Emacs (as it has been for some years). > This just means that you agree with Ken'ichi, but not with Richard. > But compromises are not based on agreements, they are based on > meeting your opponents half-way. So why are you concerned about my disagreement if agreement is not important to you? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
