Re: tramp depends on gnus

[Richard Stallman]

    Since I don't use gnus I removed the gnus dir and I noticed that
    tramp depends on format-spec, which is provided by gnus.

Thanks for noticing this.

format-spec is a clean small feature.  We could move it to subr.el.
Does anyone see a reason not to?

However, format-spec-make does not appear useful to me, and tramp
does not use that.  So let's not move that.
