I added this information to the table, and also added a little section concerning the details, at https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck/wiki/Flycheck-versus-Flymake#wiki-relation-to-emacs. I hope it makes clear that Flycheck likely won't ever be part of GNU Emacs, even though my personal motives are omitted. Please tell me if you find anything missing, or think, that it needs improvement. > This is the emacs-devel list, so "BTW, this mode will never be part of > Emacs" is kind of a big thing. I am well aware of where I am, and I assure you, that I would have prefered to never have to discuss this topic here. However, I was invited to this discussion, and asked this particular question. I answered it by courtesy, and I do not think that I deserve blame for an answer which you do not like.
