Yes, and my packages (vm, psgml, and vm-el) are all guilty of
that. But it is not really that we are slothful (or, at least, that
is not the whole reason).

Well, until there is an emacs19, there shall be no movement on
my packages. If that means we drop them, then so be
it. Please. Prople, feel free to make non-maintainer uploads of my
packages; I shall pick them up again as soon as I have an working
emacs 19.34 package with the new scheme in place.

ps: this is not meant to be a slam for the emacs maintainer, who also
has X and is quite busy other wise. This is just an expression of my
inablility to move to emacs20 (anyone willing to port 10M of personal
elisp to emacs20 shall be welcomed with open arms, and a week of
pizza dinners. One of these free weekends ...)
