I think that the answer to this is partly sociological. Is sql.el very
large? Is it being actively developed? If the answer is yes to either
of these the code stealing option would be much less attractive.
Incidentally the mode sounds excellent! I'd like a really nice SQL
mode, with JDBC connectivity.
