Yes, that is correct. I liked your proposal to revert to Emacs 21
semantics. This would also fix the problem with the two broken MH-E
hooks which, as far as I can tell, shouldn't be broken (although I might
be confused about how require works ;-). (Who knows how many other hooks
are broken in the same way.)

If Gerd is listening, perhaps he can let us know why he added that
defvar:

    revision 1.2
    date: 2003/07/23 00:00:13;  author: gm;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -1
    branches:  1.2.2;
    (define-derived-mode): Mention hook in doc string.  Defvar the derived
    hook.

Maybe someone familiar with that code can take it out...
