I fully agree with all of that, but I think what Johan wanted to say is that we
should *first* work towards DMuFL compliance before spending manpower on
Emmentaler extensions.
Which I think is true and not. If there is someone willing to spend efforts
adding stuff to Emmentaler that's a great thing and shouldn't be discouraged
because we have even more pressing things to do.
