When maintainers would like guidance from users about features, it is easy enough for them to ask the users. When we do polls about Emacs features, we don't interpret the results by simple counting of votes. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
