Re: Issues for 24.3

[Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>]

Status update:

I don't feel that many more pretests are needed.

IMO the only real outstanding issue is 13523.
Please have a think about this issue if you can.

Mac OS X maybe: 13428 (need info).

MS Windows maybe: 13527 (need info).

query-replace issue: 13579 (I haven't read this properly)

Probably deferred to after 24.3.

This is the one real remaining issue that bothers me.

Not likely to be any progress on any of these.

Maybe fixed.
