An important question for John is how he would feel about RMS overriding 
technical decisions -- that is, decisions John might feel are purely technical 
-- for philosophical reasons.  Can John live with that happening occasionally?  
Because it surely would.

(I heartily second Stephen's second, fwiw.  John would be a great maintainer, 
and while I disagree with him about the GPL, I don't think that bears much on 
the question of whether he can maintain Emacs well, given everything else he's 
said here.)
