Just bad character? :-) This is a bit like if I was saying that I do not use colourisation of articles in Gnus, and intend to refuse to install or use Gnus until there is an option to produce `.elc' files with all colourisation code removed. Is that it? Is there anything else to it? There are surely a *lot* of programs in which I'm far from using all features. I would not refuse to use them on the sole basis they are more generous than I strictly need. I hope I'm much more reasonable than that. If I may, not being alone in a strange attitude does not necessarily make it good, one also needs sounded reasons to excuse it. I only guess that you have other untold reasons for not wanting to use this Emacs version.
