Still, that won't also happen on its own, and can be dead easy, or not, depending on how accessible the logs are for a sufficiently long interval of time. > My argument was against the reasoning that _because_ no one has spoken up here > there must not be any user interest in this. Perhaps you're misinterpreting the reasoning, and it was more like "As it has been broken for a long time, and we haven't received complains on emacs-devel (or the bug list), it is reasonable to suppose that there is no user interest in it." > That's a false argument and suggests a bad attitude, IMHO. With all due respect, I think you throw that accusation a bit lightly. Juanma
