The way I'd like to see it, we'd allow package addition (e.g. css-mode) and other similar changes that "cannot add bugs in the existing features". We still want to be careful with such additions since they need to be sufficiently bug-free not to slow down the release process. I feel like such additions are important for the morale of external contributors who'd rather not have to wait 3 or more years until their contributed package appears in a release. This said, such additions are inherently orthogonal to the unicode merge (because if they depend on the unicode merge, it means it's too delicate a package to deserve inclusion in the release branch), so merging unicode right now would not make it harder to backport such new packages to the release branch. I.e. I'm in favor of merging the unicode branch as soon as possible. Stefan
