There's no benefit to removing it. We do not want to have to keep supporting multiple redundant interfaces if we can help it, especially system-dependent ones. If we don't _remove_ it, but it appears likely that it will merged with the generic emacs interface (and it that certainly appears like the best option to me), then at least we shouldn't _advertise_ it (and should instead put in the doc "don't depend on this, it will go away in the future"). -Miles -- Genealogy, n.
