Yes, of course.  And I will.

But that's not the point.  I _care_ deeply about Emacs, like everybody
else on this mailing list.  Not just about how you can configure it, but
how it appears to the new user.  I want the hacker who takes up Emacs
23, or 24, or 25, to get that same "Eureka!" feeling that I got way back
when.  The feeling that Emacs is _different_, that it's _right_, that
it's _special_ - that when you ask a question, the answer is "yes".
