If you truly think that this is TRT, so be it. I will adjust (eventually). But it does sit uneasily in my mind. I can type C-u to cancel typing in passwords for login shells, ssh-add, and just about any other program that accepts a password. It feels odd to switch my password typing habits just in Emacs. When I fumble-finger a password, I barely pause in typing before typing C-u and continuing to type. The change is consistent with the rest of Emacs, but I do not know that I can declare it a wise consistency in this case. -- Michael Welsh Duggan (mwd@cert.org)
