We're mostly waiting for Alan's code to land now.  Hopefully in a week
or so.

That said, I'm still uneasy about the status of message-mode as default;
I'm not sure we've done enough to smooth the transition from mail-mode
as default.


(One more thing: sometime after the feature freeze and the start of the
pretest, I will add one additional piece of code: the Python parser for
Semantic.  We're currently waiting for the paperwork.  This is an
extremely self-contained part of Semantic, so it should not impact the
pretest.)
