The difference is that 21.0 will be unusable to the users on

I don't believe the editor will be unusuable, unless we're
talking about a _very_ slow terminal. At 9600 baud a full
screen repaint should take less than a second on average, two
seconds at most if the screen is absolutely full (rare). And
it only happens after you hit RET to exit the minibuffer, and
only with a split screen. You'd have to be in the minibuffer a
lot for this to make you want to give up. At 2400 baud it is
definitely going to suck, but that class of modem is 1980's
technology. If you're still living there, then life already
sucks for you.
