Re: "emacs -f gnus" shows the splashscreen instead of Gnus

[Richard M. Stallman]

    A few weeks ago, starting "emacs -f gnus" was opening Emacs with Gnus
    directly open.

What version of Emacs sources were you using then?
I don't think any change has been made in this recently,
but there was a change a year or two ago to display
the splash screen even if the user specifies files to visit,
and that change could also have affected this case.

We want people to see the splash screen more.
