This mail from Stefan was an implicit rejection of it for Emacs 23.2, which seems fair enough: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-08/msg01039.html So I believe we should create a new branch EMACS_23 which will play the role currently played by the trunk, so the trunk can now be open to more experimental development (bidi, cpp->autoconf conversion, lexbind, ...), targetted for Emacs-24.
