I thought current specs suggested that no package should
auto-activate
itself? (something to do with FSF compat, a few months ago)?
I happen to agree that this is TRT (the right thing). However, I think that
all the packages which have been so modified for this release (and mic-paren
is one of those packages) should have documentation in the NEWS file. The
21.0 NEWS file does not mention that mic-paren was modified in this way.
My point is very simple: a user can expect that things in his/her
customizations which no longer work the way they used to will be documented
in the NEWS file. I'm asking what other packages were modified in this way
so that I can create a single NEWS patch which will document all such
changes.
BTW, I'm still on the beta list; there's no reason to email me directly.
