This sounds like a > contradiction to me. Having RefTeX on a separate release cycle than Emacs allows people to keep a stable Emacs base system, but pick up RefTeX improvements without needing to upgrade everything else that comes with Emacs at the same time. It also allows people to get RefTeX updates without waiting years for an Emacs release. Many people don't want to track Emacs CVS, but would be willing to track released updates of a specific component. Carsten once made some changes to improve indexing a specific case for me, and it was very nice that I could get them without going into CVS or waiting for an Emacs release. -- Alan Shutko - I am the rocks.
