It has been a couple of weeks without comment.
So, I have committed the latest version of all my changes. This is a
bit different than what I sent two weeks ago, but not drastically so.
If it causes problems, please let me know, and I will see what I can do
to fix them.
I separated out each logical change. However, the very last change
consists of a hand-generated patch combined with a quite large
automatically-generated patch. I could not separate these without
breaking the build.
If anybody is interested, I can send the final version of the rewriting
script.

This remains true. Updating buffer_defaults will be my next patch. It
may be a while before I get to this, as my Emacs hacking time is
extremely limited.
After buffer defaults I will tackle per-buffer and per-keyboard
bindings. For these, I will require some assistance, as the source
rewriter for this patch requires compiling Emacs, and I don't have
access to all platforms.
I think that will be all the needed infrastructure bits; then we can
look into rebasing the concurrency branch (or, more likely, making a new
branch).
