People appear to appreciate them, and as they say, "two is better than
one..."

Anyway, it is now your turn not to detract from features other people
want, just as it was ours during the height of the arguments against
pcase and cl-lib.  To install or not to install is Richard's decision to
make, and trying to prepossess him against his own invention strikes me
as petty spite, even though it is not meant to be.  I take no exception
to your (plural) enumerating long lists of reasons why you dislike
cond*, but presenting your perspective to the exclusion of alternative
viewpoints is misleading, and asking that Richard consign to ELPA on no
better grounds than your disapproval a <1000 LOC file defining a single
fundamental language construct designed for extensive use is none too
reasonable.  "Live and let live" goes both ways, not just the way of the
party opposed to features you prefer.

Thanks.
