Note that what Hrovje suggests will alienate RMS should he ever see it
(both alternatives).
We already use `GNU Emacs' and `FSF Emacs' elsewhere. I certainly
don't care if any of it pisses off Stallman, especially so for `GNU
Emacs' (since he uses that term himself). I do avoid `FSF Emacs' in
public forums.
Once again, Emacs is a clearly more generic term and using it to mean
`FSF Emacs' obfuscates matters.
[ I personally think we should ignore RMS's sensitivity on the
matter
and follow Hrvoje's suggestion. I was just wondering whether anyone
cares about not pissing off RMS. ]
Stallman is clearly not interested in any meaningful cooperation with
XEmacs. Ignore him, except for the issues that receive public
attention (`FSF Emacs', rudeness, etc.)
