Good to hear. IMO it does happen too often that
something that could benefit from discussion on -
or at least exposure to - emacs-devel stays on
the bug list.
I understand that it's not always obvious when or
if some part of a bug-list thread should be moved
to emacs-devel. But I think everyone could make
a more concerted effort to do so.
Just one opinion.
