Re: Release candidate for XEmacs 21.4.4 / my vacation

I don't know whether it would have been acceptable to Michael in the EFS case or not, but it would have made it possible to temporarily fix EFS without changing the package. The cost to Michael (AFAICT) would be the administrative cost of providing the fix symbol in future versions of EFS. The cost to our users would be (1) we'd have to require EFS in our update so we can overwrite the function definitions that need to be fixed and (2) very confusing breakage if somehow the non-working definitions got reloaded. I think that overhead and the slight risk of reloading would be worth it _for a temporary, but urgent, fix_ like that one.
