It doesn't make any sense to run the _released_ No Gnus 0.8 with Emacs
trunk.  Somebody who is willing to use (i.e. *test*) bleeding edge
code of Emacs has to be prepared live with such breakage, go back to
an older checkout or update again as soon as the bugs have been fixed.

For the combination Emacs trunk plus Gnus 5.10.10, the only reasonable
use-case would be that Gnus 5.13 is much more unstable that the rest
of Emacs trunk.  I don't think this is true.

Or does someone see other reasonable scenarios?

In short: If you use Emacs trunk, you should use either the bundled
Gnus 5.13 or Gnus trunk (when newer).

I hesitate to merge in these before the release as they might
introduce other problems.

Bye, Reiner.
