Philosophical. These macros encourage feature-specific compilation. This means, among other things, that the same .el file might produce different .elc files on different architectures without so much as a warning, which is bad juju especially for things like binary packages. Using them is almost always a bad idea, but unfortunately really, really easy. The replacement macros are not as general, so their use will hopefully be confined to what it is now. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
