If people want to fix bugs in lisp/obselete, they are free to do so because (a) the bug is open and (b) the code still exists in the distribution. Once the code is gone, we can close the bug as no longer pertaining to Emacs. Until that time, don't feel an obligation to fix bugs in obsolete code that you aren't interested in fixing. There are higher priorities to address. What this discussion objected to (as I read it) was establishing a policy of ignoring bugs in obsolete code. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
