Hi,
I have two questions to Gnus developers.
I've believed for a long time that we must not load cl while
running Gnus. It seems that it is required by FSF Emacs or RMS.
So, I've made some compiler macros in dgnushack.el, I've
sometimes advised not to use cl run-time functions in Gnus and
all they have been accepted. Is this rule -- Gnus does not use
cl run-time functions -- effective even now? Otherwise, doesn't
such a rule exist from the beginning?
If a module in Gnus uses a function which is built-in under FSF
Emacs 21 but is defined in cl under FSF Emacs 20, should Gnus
load cl for Emacs 20 users?
If anything, I've enjoyed exterminating cl run-time functions in
Gnus. Though it might have been useless for Gnus, it was
significant for me. ;-)
