I have 100+ Elisp files (written by me) and it
all works like a Swiss watch from Terra Prima,
and I know mucking around with it on a large
scale will break Emacs, and I need Emacs to fix
it, and every time that happened was very
unpleasant and frustrating job, so no, I stick
to the repos' Emacs if it can't be
done otherwise.

Yeah, I knew it would come to this. So thanks
for saying it. Now I know it also needs to
happen...
