I find this disturbing. > > Why do users like to have to start emacs server themselves? I didn't say they like this. In fact, I didn't talk about server at all. I was talking about how to start _Emacs_, not the server, and I was talking about making it harder for users to share the same .emacs file between different OSes. In particular, a .emacs that starts the server will do the wrong thing with Lennart's binaries. And .emacs that does not start the server will give you a server on Windows if you use Lennart's binaries, but on other systems the server will not start.
