That's why Mike Fabian is on the CC list. ;-) I know he's very busy, but he does personally have an interest in XEmacs. I trust him to advocate a solution that balances the needs of XEmacs users like you with interest of the rest of SuSE's stakeholders.

It's an inherent problem of the distributed development model used by open source that distros like SuSE will find that features that they need are not available in the publicly released versions of the applications they combine into their system. Then they must make compromises. -- Graduate School of Systems and Information Engineering University of Tsukuba http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/ Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Economics of Information Communication and Computation Systems Experimental Economics, Microeconomic Theory, Game Theory
