Re: Does Richard M. Stallman still scrutinize and develop the codes of Emacs now?

[Samuel Banya]

The way I think of this is like this:

There always will be a fork.

Look at Vim:
Sure the same guy is still leading major git commits, but most people use 
Neovim anyway.

Same thing with Emacs, especially if they force Rust into the main Emacs repo. 
That's when I'll start looking for different forks of it as I'm more of a fan 
of C anyway.
