    People work well when they work happily. People work happily on what
    they feel important.

I hope these people recognize that what is important
is to add real capabilities to Emacs, not propose incompatiblen changes.

                         What would you think about a dedicated project to
    improve emacs defaults ? Do you think it would be more productive ?
    Would you like it to be more productive ?

I think that such a project, to be constructive, would require people
with exceedingly good judgment.  Otherwise it would be
counterproductive.

I would rather just rule out further incompatible changes in the basic
Emacs editing commands until after Emacs 23 comes out.
