Oh, hindsight is clearly 100/100.  Whatever else the great Emacs schism
might have caused, it has given me two histories to extrapolate from and
pontificate about.  I may be overgeneralizing a lot, but then two data
points are a dream constellation for curve fitting.

While two data points do not seem like exactly much in the vast space of
the Emacsen universe, this adds a whole new dimension over one data
point.

And things like Joe, Microemacs, Hemlock are just too distant viewpoints
for facilitating depth perception and for being considered part of a
quackworthy continuity.
