I.e. it has been tested in practice for 4 months.

My primary goal is to have the same Gnus code base in Gnus 5.10.10 and
Emacs 22.2.  Every excluded change makes maintenance a little bit
harder.

I consider _this_ change reasonably safe as it (as you know) simply
converts the rx regexp to a plain concatted regexp in the defcustom.
Last time we discussed this change, I checked that both regexp give
the same result (modulo some shy groups).  Additionally, it has been
tested in the trunk since 2007-11-04.

Oh, I see that a couple of hours after this mail, you committed this
change to EMACS_22_BASE.  So I guess we don't need to discuss this
further.

Yes, sorry.  (I only compared the top of the ChangeLogs quickly.)

Bye, Reiner.
