Hm. To be proven :-)

Likewise. Emacs is a complex beast, but for a reason: it reflects

and use it in staggeringly different ways. Changing something in

Mine was just an assessment. I don't speak (by far!) for the Emacs
community. I was just musing that you might have better chances
of trying things out if you don't aim straight at core.
