I agree with Drew. Not only is Emacs 23 not stable yet, especially after the latest radical changes in the font backend, but I very much doubt that it's ``not too far from a release''. My hat off if Emacs 23.1 will be released less than 6 months from now. I've seen quite a few releases since Emacs 19.2x 15 years ago, and none of them was released as soon as it seemed when the pretest began. I hope the new maintainers will change that, but the cynic inside me sincerely doubts that.
