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. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
