You are probably right.  But Eglot is in ELPA for some time, and I
don't yet see a campaign to bring it into core; I do see some opinions
to the contrary.  So I think it will be much easier to convince more
people if we had this working.  I cannot be sure, of course, and you
will do the work, so it is still your call.

Or maybe we will have a flood of messages tomorrow saying they'd like
to have Eglot in core ;-)
