screwed up somehow. It's possible I'm too conservative about these
things, but I follow That Other Emacs and I don't much like the way
some of their committers regularly upset other users with "works for
me" tweaks. (Fortunately Stefan takes a really dim view of that kind
of thing, but even Stefan typically does little to ensure backward
compatibility if it would significantly complexify the code.)
I have no problem with being conservative about changes. And for the
load-history I don't really expect XEmacs core to change. I just want
a warm fuzzy that I am not breaking something un-obvious but important.
I am also hoping that other rcfiles users will get a hint at why some
packages work and others don't. And a possible solution. I am willing
to massage load-history in my init.el file.
And it looks like 21.5 fixes my site-lisp problem, so that is a plus! I
have only recently switched back to 21.5 after a 13 year hiatus
(Yikes!).
Cheers,
Sean
