Really, must you keep on doing this?

It seems the only purpose of your post here was to aggravate Eli.  Any
policy direction can be countered by a trite meaningless phrase like
"cleanliness is next to godliness"; it seems likely, had Eli expressed
the opposite direction, you would have chastised him for encouraging the
wasting of time, in an equally trite and unpleasant manner.

Please stop posting like this.  It doesn't help anybody.

If you want to contribute positively to Emacs, in whatever manner, I'm
sure you'd be welcome.  But you know how the project works, what it's
doing, and likely why; you're not going to be able to change these
things.  It you don't like them, why stick around?
