I still think that a 21.6 release based on the current code base is
doable within one month. Sorry about the anti-aliased fonts.
They're a work in progress. You can either build without 'em or
live with the hair and/or provide a patch. We'll fix them in a 21.7
release.

I've been using 21.5 for what a decade!? with good results but maybe
die-hard-21.4 users are the right people to ask here about what is bad
with 21.5. Customize with -vanilla is one thing. Are there more?
Maybe we could address those things. If we have list I could try to
fix it.
We don't have a reputation - we're irrelevant. I accepted
that
awhile ago, but I just don't like feeling helplessly irrelevant.
That is my feeling to.
Knowing what is right here is of course good. But how? How do we know
if we have users and how many?
From the activity on this list it is easy to get the feeling we are
just a few developers with very little time and not many users except
ourselves. Why have plans and adopt quality thinking like if we were a
project with lots of users?
When I today say my preferred tools is Emacs to people I start to get
the feeling they laugh behind my back. I know, forgive them because
they don't know better ;-). I personally don't know anyone who use
Emacs and that goes back a few years. (It all started to go down with
Java and IDEs with intellisense etc.) I have met people who use GNU
Emacs but they don't know what XEmacs is.
