Ok, perhaps people will call me a lunatic for that, but I think this
would be a rather compelling reason to merge multi-tty support rather
sooner than later after releasing Emacs 22: there are rather few
applications for which multi-tty support and disconnecting from an X
server would be relevant. GTK and/or Gnome are supposed to be GNU
desktop components, and we want to get problems with them ironed out.
Merging multi-tty early in the Emacs 23 process gives appropriate GTK
bug fixes a chance to make it out into the real world before Emacs 23
follows. In contrast, I don't think that we have similar
"sympathetic" software releases to take into consideration in
connection with unicode2.
