I think you will find that opinions differ on what is "best effort" in
this context.  Which is completely fine, we don't need to agree on
such issues.

Indeed, we don't need to, but here's my take on anyway,
followed by a question.

For me, best effort here means: do something self-contained
that brings some good and brings no harm.  I think introducing
lisp-data-mode is _exactly_ in those conditions.

That's not to say we can't use do _more_ good as we
extend our efforts. But we shouldn't let those ambitions
stifle the initial deed, smaller, but unquestionably positive.

So I'm thinking of introducing lisp-data-mode later on in
master, following Stefan's patch. And using it only for `dir-locals.el`
for now (and for my own files of course).

Is that OK with you?
