Possibly, but what scares me in that is the amount of dedication from
*both* library authors and users needed at the same point in time to make
such a switch happen.
Users will not switch unless the packages they use are not ready in the
new form and authors will not switch until the user base is ready to
follow. It can very easily end up in a catch 22 situation.
It is not that there haven't been several attempts already to implement
a new direction for emacs.
