Surely you've been party to some of the PSGML flamewars? If not, take
a look for "Lennart Staflin" in the archives.
I might complain if you made policy decisions on behalf of users in
tex-site.el[1] (e.g. adding "(setq TeX-auto-save t)"), but the file is
intended to be the place where site administrators integrate AUC TeX
with the locally installed software, so I think it would be the
natural place for changes that makes AUC TeX integrate with XEmacs.
Since AUC TeX does *not* upgrade tex-site.el when the user upgrade AUC
TeX using the its own upgrade process, it is also a file where
divergence is relatively safe. The rest of AUC TeX cannot depend too
much on the content of that file in any case.
