Add to this list recentf.  I really wish authors of such changes with
far-reaching consequences would make some rudimentary effort to use
their changes before installing them, because otherwise those of us this
responsibility next devolves on are placed in a very unpleasant
position.  There are numerous past instances of changes, having only
this one property in common, to wit, that they were motivated by some
abstract imperfection in the Lisp interpreter, being installed, only to
break the bootstrapping process or to cause users intense frustration,
which in one extreme case might actually have incurred (insignificant,
but still measurable) loss of money.

Thanks.
