Well, my position is not to revert, so by doing that nobody is happy.
Why is that good? Anyway, as I said before, this is Stefans call.
But I always assumed we are talking post-release here as your code
clearly don't belong in a feature freeze. Again, Stefans call.
In the short term, indeed, Daniel's patch is too new for 24.4.
But in the longer term, I like the idea of being able to write Elisp
code to fine-tune the colors.
So the :distant-foreground might not be useful after 24.4.
IOW, if we keep it for 24.4, I think we should hide it so we can remove
it later. Not sure how to do that, tho.
What do you guys think?
