Yeah, who knows?  And who knows if all the users we don't hear from are
all three-headed fish from Neptune?  Don't think that means I should
ignore the users that face problems/want features and do make their
voices heard.

I do agree they don't think about versions, and even less what is :core
or not.  They probably just want things to work.

It is, but you included it in your Eglot section, did you not?  And it
was, for a long time, a way to avoid "echo area flooding" in Eglot.  So
I figured you'd be interested in knowning that that problem is largely
fixed.

Robert Pluim reported some breakage.  And it's suspiciously slow to
start for me.

Noone disagrees with that.  Will do once there is a better alternative,
which there isn't atm.
