If that file was inside elisp/  (which I agree that we can see
from Rietveld that it is not), then I would expect that it would
be automatically installed.

I think that Ian's confusion is understandable.  Files inside
elisp/*.el are mostly not intended for developers.  At least,
stuff like elisp/lilypond-mode.el seems to be aimed directly at
end-users, not developers.


David, please calm down.  We want to encourage people to review
patches.  The tone of your replies to Ian is not encouraging to
reviewers.  I agree that Ian has misunderstood a few things, but
these should be explained politely.  The use of multiple question
marks and exclamation marks is not polite.
