Maybe it is logical with respect to the knowledge you have of
the technical details of the ring implementation. How many
users do you think have this knowledge, and how many of them
do you think should know the technical details to be "allowed"
to use XEmacs ?
Answer to the latter question: Every one of them. They
should learn how to use this feature.

So what !? All new users of XEmacs begin with being "ignorant". Now
if you have to be an _experimented_ user to begin finding things
logical, then I can assure you that the number of new users is not
going to increase by a lot in the future.
Thank God the creators of UNIX didn't share this myopic outlook.
If you're really saying that a tool must be understandable at first
glance, then I honestly don't think we can have a discussion.
