I don't think it's necessary to retire it. Your patch is an improvement, no? If it's a step in the right direction, then why not proceed? Further improvements can be made later. AFAIK we're not talking about grand features that would be a crime to make changes to later. Most development in Emacs doesn't happen with full consensus anyway, right? Usually someone has an itch to scratch, and unless someone really objects or a procedure is seriously violated, it gets scratched. I've made some suggestions, but they're only suggestions; they aren't conditions for merging.
Am I missing something here? :)
Hello everyone!
I am ok to retire the patch, with no consensus on how to progress.
Regards,
Seb
