RE: Efforts to attract more users?

[Drew Adams]

So now it seems that this thread has been diverted to a discussion about merging
Lennart's emacsclient changes, who should do that, why...  Next you'll be
discussing each of those changes individually.  Then...

Why is it so difficult to _start a new thread_ when you change the subject?

Here, FWIW, was the place where you turned off the road:

Some discussion of emacsclient problems and improvements _might_ be appropriate
for this thread, provided it remains tied to a discussion about attracting more
users.

But when you take a detour to pursue emacsclient implementation and merge
details, you've left the road, probably forever.  At best, you're on a side
road.  At worst, you're off into the swamp.
