Disagree.

Disagree. We need stability, dependability and a proven track record
for interaction with Emacs. We don't have the manpower to fix a bad
choice. A lack of a well-established feasibility for large-scale
projects in combination with Emacs and a number of operating systems
is, in my opinion, a definite reason to rule out any system.
