OTOH, there are many relatively
safe features (FFI from SXEmacs, my support for libcurl and neon,
Aidan's Common Lisp compatibility improvements) that I don't see much
point in freezing out at this point. Bottom line: I don't think
anybody, not you, not me, would actually do any work on a feature-
frozen branch.
I appreciate being brought into this discussion. I'm going to
be tied
up for a
few months, but, in my view, FFI is the future of XEmacs (is SXEmacs
still around?
haven't heard much from them lately). If anyone else cares, I'd like to
be able to
use FFI with R, OpenBUGS and, possibly, TeXmacs. I don't know what of
that, if
anything, is actually doable. I suppose we are talking about Linux
only, but, sadly,
we are in the process of moving to Linux anyways. Did I mention the
Packers won
the Super Bowl? :O)
