I'm interested in wether all those command-line options want to be
added back in now. No other version of emacs that I know of has them
or will have them; the FSF way to do what Jonathon wanted is `emacs
-rn foo'. When I talked to Calvin about the integration he did
(adding those options Way Back When) he said he'd regretted it, and
when I was approached about building emacs for solaris, I was told
that I could leave those out, at lesat for the first round.
Is now the time to get rid of these options and educate the users? Or
perhaps should we wait and take that change whenever we migrate to
emacs19?
This seems mostly like a user-education issue, so perhaps testers
isn't the best place for it. I'm not going to forward it to
release-77, but anyone who knows where it `should' go should feel free
to forward it, please. :-)
