University students and employees.
Sometimes back I was investigating hosting for personal files. The site
runs a version of FreeBSD version and had Emacs 22 on their servers.
When I requested that they upgrade their Emacs to 23 or 24 they refused
citing some reason why they /had/ to downgrade.
It has something to do with their site architecture not supporting
/dev/tty in their ssh environment. Apparently some changes in Emacs 23
- may be Emacs server (or is it the emacsclient?) - that relies on use
of /dev/tty. In short, external constraints.
Also XEmacs seem to be lagging behind severely. See this recent thread:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2012-September/023201.html
I am wondering what makes people continue using their XEmacses.
