The most customizable editor and arguments and fights about an easily
settable default?
Ironic...

I would like to point out that if the suggestions by
the Ilya Zakharevich here (5 from end)
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emacs/browse_thread/thread/43549e055d64908b/f4fe528ddc02da03

Likewise Alan Macenzie's idea about emacsicality
http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.help/browse_thread/thread/7c08121e215fd383/dcba4f862fc8a7f5?q=emacsicality&lnk=nl&

are taken seriously such arguments are unnecessary.

IOW it is not too much to ask to have the cake and eat it too:

Have: Old users can stay with some version (say emacs 22) and stick
there for as long as they like

Eat: emacs devs can try out genuinely new things unconcerned about
whether some old codgers will get grumpy.
