If it is maintained straight in the Emacs CVS trunk, this might affect the average stability experienced by XEmacs users. If we have just a one-way copy of gnus within Emacs, then we probably need to make it explicitly read-only in some manner to avoid having fixes disappear. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
